Welcoming Landlord Program
Market-value housing is simply out of reach for many. Individuals and families arriving in B.C. often do not have housing or employment references in Canada making their housing search even more difficult. Newly arriving individuals and families are not eligible for BC Housing or other subsidized housing options.
The Welcoming Landlord Housing Program aims to bridge this gap by connecting landlords and tenants one home at a time.
How does the Welcoming Landlord Program work?
Simply click here to advertise your rental. We are only considering self-contained rentals for this program, a not roommate situation. We will upload your listing to our Welcoming Landlord List every Wednesday.
Simply send an email to [email protected] and let us know your rental is no longer available. Your unit will be removed from our listing page the Wednesday after we receive your email.
Of course not. Our goal is to simply connect tenants and landlords, you are welcome to accept any tenant you choose.

While it is up to landlords to set their rental price, we do encourage landlords to consider low and fair market rental prices when advertising through the Welcoming Landlord Program.
