The program was launched in April by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan to help people with low incomes have more affordable rent. It has now been expanded to support more low-income renters in the province. The SHB is a monthly benefit available to people with low incomes who pay 50 per cent or more of their income on housing. The program, which was previously available only to people with low income who live in community housing, has now been expanded to support Saskatchewan renters in the private market as well. Through SHB, renters will receive a flat, monthly benefit based on their family and living situation, according to the joint news release.
