Program helps low-income residents 28 Auction Sales
HURON — The provincial government is helping
low-income tenants with short-term rent arrears
stay in their homes by allocating $13,270 to the
rent bank program for Huron County.
"Our provincial rent bank program
has assisted thousands of low-income
tenants to avoid eviction and remain in
their home," Huron -Bruce MPP Carol
Mitchell said last week.
"By providing more funding to this
important program, we're helping to
ensure the housing stability of more
tenants who are at risk of homeless-
ness."
The allocation to Huron County is part
of $4 million in funding distributed
recently among rent banks across
Ontario.
The rent bank program promotes housing stabili-
ty by assisting low-income tenants to avoid evic-
tion for non-payment of rent, as short-term
arrears is the most common reason tenants lose
their homes and end up in shelters.
Tenants with lower incomes may apply to the
rent bank to receive short-term finan-
cial assistance to address rent arrears.
If a tenant's application to a rent bank
is approved, the outstanding rent is
paid directly to the landlord on behalf
of the tenant.
Tenants can apply for financial assis-
tance from a rent bank no more than
once in two years, and receive maxi-
mum assistance for two months' rental
arrears.
Since 2004 when the program began
with an initial allocation of $10 million
distributed among municipalities in
Ontario, 4,177 households have received assis-
tance and avoided eviction.
"Our provincial rent
bank program has
assisted thousands
of low-income
tenants to avoid
eviction and remain
in their home,"
