Keep your application up to date

Stay connected! To make sure your application stays active, try to update your application:

  •  Once every six months
  •  Whenever any of your information changes
Please provide day and evening phone numbers, or the phone number of a contact person, so housing providers can contact you if a unit becomes available.

If BC Housing does not hear from an applicant for over six months, his or her application will be put on hold and a card requesting an update will be mailed to the last known address.  If there is no response or the card is returned, the application will be cancelled and the applicant may need to complete a new application in order to be considered for housing in the future.
