PRINCE GEORGE – Some renters across the province are facing struggles amplified by the pandemic economic downturn.

Several years ago, the government introduced BC Rent Bank to assist renters in the short term by offering loans and advice.

The program has helped close to 9000 renters in BC in the past two years. The BC Rent Bank is a housing stability and homelessness prevention initiative.

Low to moderate-income earners struggling to pay their rent or move into more affordable housing can apply for an interest-free loan to pay over time.

BC Rent Bank would like to establish more of its resources throughout Northern BC.

Those Northern BC organizations looking to be partners and being part of the solution to help people through a difficult time can contact BC Rent Bank through their website.
