- All applications will be considered to be active for a 1-year period. Applicants will be contacted once their application is completed and their landlord references have been checked.

- Vista Housing for Seniors mandate is to provide affordable housing to senior citizens who are 65 years of age or older.
Persons under the age of 65 are permitted to apply for housing with our office, however, they may only be considered for accommodation where we have at least a 10% Vacancy Rate and only when there are no senior citizen households waiting for accommodations in that property.
In the event of a couple who are applying for housing, priority will be given to a household where one of the applicants is 65 years of age or older and the co-applicant is 60 years of age and older.
The annual household income must be below the Core Need Income Threshold established by the provincial government. For example, in 2023 the Core Need Income Threshold for a 1-bedroom apartment in Edmonton is $44,000.00. - If you have a sponsorship agreement, please note that you are not entitled to receive a rental subsidy from the Provincial Government and if approved for housing would be responsible to pay Market Rent.
