Rental arrears and subsidized housing

Halton Region Housing Services supports low- and moderate-income households with housing and/or financial assistance. Learn about supports that may be available to you.

Halton Region may also be able to provide one-time assistance with the cost of your rental arrears or moving expenses. Talk to your case manager about your eligibility.

Child care subsidy

The child care subsidy program helps Halton families who qualify with the cost of child care. The subsidy is available to families who are attending school, working or looking for work. Subsidies can be applied to licensed child care programs and licensed private home child care agencies that have an Agreement with Halton Region.

Help with electricity costs

If you are in a lower-income home, you may qualify for a reduction on your electricity bill.

The Ontario Electricity Support Program (external link) will apply a monthly credit to your bill. The credit amount will depend on your total household income and the number of people living in your home. For more information, visit the Ontario Energy Board website (external link).

Filing income taxes

Individuals with low income who have a simple tax situation may be eligible to have their taxes completed at no charge at income tax clinics provided by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) around Halton. To participate in this community outreach program, you must meet CRA criteria.
