Provincial Home Repair Program (PHRP)*

Through NL Housing, PHRP is designed to provide funding to:

• assist low-income homeowners who require repairs to their homes;
• bring dwellings up to minimum fire and life safety standards, with improvements in basic heating, electrical and plumbing services;
• provide seniors and the physically challenged who require accessibility changes to their residences the ability to carry out these renovations, which will allow them to remain in their homes for a longer period.

Rental Housing Program* for Low-Income Households

The Rental Housing Program helps low-income households that cannot obtain suitable and affordable rental housing on the private market. You may be able to access low-income rental housing if:

• your total household income falls within certain income levels;
• your present housing is adequate; however, you pay more than 30 per cent of your total household income towards rent and heat;
• your present housing is unsuitable, you pay less than 30 per cent of your total household income for rent; however, suitable housing in your area would cost 30 per cent or more of your total household income.
• NL Housing rent is based on net income, and tenants are only required to pay 25% of their total monthly income;
