About Housing

Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) offers affordable housing for seniors, families and individuals with low to moderate incomes, and people living with disabilities. People in greatest need of housing are SHC’s priority. Rent is based on a tenant’s household income or is fixed at an affordable rate.

Housing is available in about 270 communities across Saskatchewan and is managed by local housing authorities. Housing is available to people who are:

• Able to live independently with or without community supports; and
• Legally allowed to reside in Canada (Canadian citizen, permanent resident, refugee claimant, temporary resident with current work or study permit).

Some communities have fully accessible units for people with disabilities.

For emergency shelter, contact the shelters in your community. If you require information about emergency shelters, visit sk.211.ca, text “Hello” to 211, or call 211.
