The Supported Rent Supplement Program (SRSP) aims to reduce and prevent homelessness.

We are not accepting any RFP submissions for the Supported Rent Supplement Program (SRSP) at this time.

Overview

The Supported Rent Supplement Program (SRSP) aims to reduce and prevent homelessness by providing a coordinated network of services to the eligible Federally funded Canada-British Columbia Housing Benefit (CBCHB) recipients. CBCHB provides rent assistance to make renting in the private market more affordable.

SRSP provides services to CBCHB recipients to improve their personal wellbeing to enable them to transition to or remain in stable market housing. 

The support services aim to help individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness to access multiple systems to meet their basic needs.
