The deadline is fast approaching to apply for the Canada Housing Benefit Top-Up.
@CMHC_ca To be eligible a single person's income must be less than $20,000. That number insults other low income folks who's income is $21,000 and up. What happens if one's income is one dollar more? Is the $500 pro-rated? BTW, the subsidy should be $500 per month NOT $500 for one year.
@CMHC_ca I'm a senior on a low income bracket yet did not qualify. $800 over the threshold I was informed. Doesn't take in the fact, the real poorness of my state. I was counting on this to aid that but now unable.
@CMHC_ca Why is this not an automatic payment for seniors and disabled folks?
@CMHC_ca What is $500 going to do? That can’t even cover a single rooms rent for a month ..
