The Housing Registry is a centralized database of applicants in search of subsidized housing. This database is managed by BC Housing.

The Housing Registry allows households in search of subsidized housing to submit a single application form to be considered for available units managed by BC Housing and a number of non-profit and co-operative housing providers that have chosen to use The Housing Registry database.

Important information

Not all non-profit societies and co-operatives use The Housing Registry as their applicant database. To increase your chances of securing subsidized housing, we recommend that you apply to those non-profit societies and co-operatives not members of The Housing Registry as well. Click here for more information on how to apply to developments not registered with The Housing Registry .

Update your application if any of your information changes. It is important to update your application at least once every six months. Click here for more information on how to keep your application form up-to-date .

Provide day and evening phone numbers, or the phone number of a contact person who can get a message to you, so housing providers can contact you if a unit becomes available.
