Part of our work is sharing clear, practical housing information — free, for everyone. Here are our plain-language guides and a short list of trusted places to get help in British Columbia.
Written by the Foundation, free to read and share. We add to these over time.
Deposits, rent increases, ending a tenancy, getting your deposit back, and where to get free help.
Getting ready for your first place — budgeting, what you'll need, and how to be a reliable tenant.
How subsidized housing works, help paying rent, and who to call when you need support.
These independent, established services are free or low-cost. We're not affiliated with them — we point to them because they're genuinely useful.
In an emergency, call 9-1-1. If you are unsafe or without a place to stay tonight, call 2-1-1 for shelter and crisis options.
Your support helps us keep publishing these resources and building affordable housing across British Columbia.
