Seniors have access to rent subsidies through Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), which provides monthly cash payments to more than 15,700 eligible seniors age 60 and over who rent their homes.
SAFER has been expanded and updated to better meet the housing needs of low-income seniors. Changes include increased benefit levels and eligibility, the inclusion of seniors who pay pad rentals for manufactured homes, and increased heat allowance to offset rising utility costs, and the removal of the 10-year Canadian residency requirement.
