The Canada-Nunavut Housing Benefit (CHB) program, administered by the Department of Family Services, provides temporary financial relief to individuals or families in private rental accommodation. It provides access to benefits for housing on the private market so individuals, youth, or families can transition through a period of vulnerability or crisis.
This program pays the difference between 24% of the recipient household’s income and the market rent until the household can transition into a more permanent housing option. Not all rent will be covered by the benefit, and applicants are responsible for utilities.
