Who is eligible for the Seniors' Supportive Housing program?

The Seniors' Supportive Housing program is primarily for low-income seniors. In addition, applicants must:

  • Require a modified physical environment and support services to assist with continued independent community living environment;
  • Not require a permanent level of support that exceeds services available in the supportive housing setting;
  • Be able to manage their own lifestyles, including reacting appropriately in an emergency situation; and
  • Not demonstrate behaviour(s) that place themselves or other tenants within the building at risk.
Am I eligible if I am not a senior?
The Seniors' Supportive Housing program primarily targets low-income seniors. However, individuals with disabilities who are experiencing difficulty living independently, but who are not eligible to participate in the Independent Living BC program or licensed complex care may still apply.

Suitability will be determined by housing operators in non-profit settings and Health Services staff in buildings directly-managed by BC Housing.
