Housing Stability Program
The Housing Stability Program (HSP) assists eligible low-income Durham residents who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or in a precarious housing situation. Our goal is to support with eviction prevention, stable and affordable housing, and support with utility arrears due to unforeseen circumstances. HSP recipients can receive financial support for:
- Last month’s rent deposit;
- Rental arrears (if you are behind in paying your rent);
- Utility arrears (if you are behind in paying your utilities); and
- Moving costs
HSP recipients can receive assistance once every three years for each support type. For example, if you have been approved for last month's rent, you may be eligible to also receive financial assistance towards your rental arrears, moving costs, and utility arrears.
Upon receipt of your completed online application, processing may take up to two business days. We will connect with you directly to discuss eligibility. If you do not have a phone number or email address, please contact the Coordinated Intake and Eligibility Unit at 905-666-6239 ext. 1803 after two business days.
