Apply for Affordable Housing

Step One: Eligibility Check

To qualify for housing assistance, applicants must:

✔ Be 16 years of age or older;

✔ Be able to live independently;

✔ Be Canadian Citizens, Landed Immigrants or Refugee Claimants;

✔ NOT owe arrears to any social housing provider;

✔ NOT have been found by the Landlord & Tenant Board or a court of law to have misrepresented income with regards to rent-geared-to-income assistance; and

✔ Complete the full application including building preferences.

Step Two: Review Housing Options

Please be sure to review your housing preferences carefully before submitting your application. You may select from a variety of housing options, including County of Lambton Owned Units,  Non-Profit Housing Providers, Co-op Co-operative Housing Provider, Rent Supplement Units, Modified units, Semi-detached Units, and the Portable Housing Benefit, which proves a monthly subsidy that can be used toward eligible private market housing anywhere in Lambton County. You may qualify for different unit sizes based on your household composition.

Please select only the housing types and unit sizes you are prepared to accept, as you will receive ONE (1) offer of housing, and declining that offer may result in your application being removed from the Centralized Waiting List.
