Canada-Nova Scotia Targeted Housing Benefit (Rent Subsidy)
The Canada-Nova Scotia Targeted Housing Benefit provides renters with a monthly supplement to help pay their rent. The supplement is based on your household size and income, as well as your actual rent paid (up to a maximum of the average market rent in your area).
As long as you’re eligible, you continue getting the rent supplement. You need to complete an annual renewal application to confirm that you’re still eligible each year.
