Household Allowance

The Household Allowance is a subsidy of $400 per month and available on a per household basis. It is available to all eligible indeterminate and term employees of the GN, a public agency or the Legislative Assembly, who are not already receiving a similar allowance. The applicant must own and occupy the unit as their principal residence, or pay the full rental cost of the unit. For clarity, employees may not live in any form of subsidized housing (for example, federal staff housing or public housing, regardless of the rental rate).
