Independent
Living BC : Some seniors need help with daily
activities as they age, but do not need 24-hour care. The
Independent Living BC program provides private apartments with
some support services for people who need some assistance to
remain independent. Regional health authorities in BC select
residents for this program, and fill out the application forms
for these residents.

Subsidized
housing: In addition to assisted living, seniors can also apply
to live in subsidized housing in either public, non-profit or co-operative
housing. Tenants pay rent based on the gross income of the household rather
than paying at the market rate. Affordable rent is defined as costing no
more than 30% of a household's total gross monthly income, subject to a
minimum rent that tenants will be asked to pay based on the number of
persons living in the home. Click here to learn more about how
to apply to subsidized housing
