Housing support (group residential housing (GRH)) is a cash program that pays for room and board costs for adults with low incomes who have a disability or are 65 years of age or older. Recipients live in licensed facilities or authorized community-based settings. The program aims to reduce and prevent institutional residence or homelessness. Housing support grants are paid directly to the facility in which you are living. For more information, including frequently asked questions please click here.
