Lanark County reminds us that it is offering a Housing Assistance Program (HAP) to help residents in need. The program is designed to support those who are struggling with rental and utility arrears, at risk of losing their housing, or currently homeless.
Eligible residents can receive up to $1,500 per fiscal year (April to March) to cover essential expenses. This assistance can help with rent deposits, utility bills, rent or mortgage arrears, property tax payments, hygiene kits, and emergency food cards.
The program aims to provide both financial and non-financial aid to ensure that residents can secure or maintain affordable housing. If you are facing difficulties, you are encouraged to reach out.
To apply or get more information, residents can call 613-267-4200 ext. 2140 to book an appointment. Additional details can be found on the Lanark County website at www.lanarkcounty.ca.
