Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) Subsidy Increase

The Province has made improvements to the SAFER program which will help support low-income senior renters. Current recipients will receive a one-time $430 benefit and an increase in their monthly subsidy. There will also be an increase in the income limit for eligibility so more seniors will be eligible.
