How to apply for housing

We are now using the YYC Seniors Housing portal to process housing applications.

The choice of where you want to live is all yours. We’ve simply made the process of finding affordable accommodations in Calgary easier so you can be housed sooner.

Before we can place your name on the waiting list, we require a completed application.

Apply Now

Note:
You will only be considered for the properties you have selected in your application. The broader your selection the faster you are likely to be housed.

After a phone interview to ensure you qualify for the housing you’ve applied for, your name will be added to the waitlist.

Lease Signing

When we have a unit to offer to you, we will contact you to arrange a viewing and to sign a lease agreement.

Before a lease agreement can be signed, the following steps must be taken:

  1. All income must be updated and verified by copies of monthly income cheques or your latest bank statement, showing direct deposit of pension cheques. We also need to see your current "Notice of Assessment" from Revenue Canada. (This notice is required at the time of application).
  2. We require verification that you have a Tenant's Insurance Package with a liability minimum of $1 million.
  3. Applicant must be on hand to sign the lease and ready to occupy the suite.
  4. Keys will not be issued and nothing can be moved into a suite until the lease is signed and insurance verified.
  5. Appointments for signing the lease or making a move-in inspection will only be made for a regular workday and scheduled office hours. No appointment will be made on a holiday or a weekend.
  6. You are required to have a personal will and supply us with information concerning the executor.
  7. If you are not ready to move when we offer you a suite, your name will drop to the bottom of the waiting list.
  8. A security deposit equal to one month's rent is required.
  9. We require a non-refundable $100 deposit cheque when we assign a suite to you. When you move into the suite, the $100 deposit will be applied toward your first month's rent.
