Household income includes all the money earned by adults living in the home before taxes. This means wages from your job, self-employment earnings, regular government payments, and child support. We look at your total combined income to make sure our homes go to the people who need them most.
Your household size is simply the total number of people who will live in the home full-time. This includes you, your partner, children, and any other family members or roommates who will be on the lease.
Getting started is simple: complete an online enquiry form for a property with details about your household size and income. We will then review your information to see if you meet the eligibility criteria. If you qualify, we’ll contact you with next steps, including booking a viewing and the application form (where we will then verify your initial eligibility against your documents).
Yes, absolutely. We want you to feel confident about where you live. Once you pass the initial eligibility check and a home becomes available, we will invite you to tour the property. You can walk through the space and make sure it is the right fit for your family before signing a lease.
No, this is not social housing. We provide affordable housing designed for working individuals and families earning low to moderate incomes. Unlike traditional social housing, which often has long waitlists and requires meeting strict criteria set by government agencies, our affordable housing application process is more straightforward. You apply directly online, our team reviews your eligibility based on household size and income, and there are typically fewer administrative hurdles and shorter waiting times. This helps you secure a quality home more quickly and simply than with social housing programs.
