What to say when you call

Can I get this?

You have a good chance if this sounds like you:

This program is closed to new applicants
If you already get it, you keep getting it until it winds down

What to do next

Check off each step as you go — we'll remember where you are.

No new applications are accepted - the program closed to new applicants in July 2018.
Existing clients: continue receiving monthly benefits; the ministry will transition your benefit to another program by August 31, 2026.
If you are not already on SIS/SAID, you will be supported to apply instead for the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit (see separate entry). Questions: contact Social Services, or Saskatchewan Housing Corporation at 306-787-4177.

Checkmarks are saved only on this device. We collect nothing.

The fine print

The full eligibility rules

Closed to new applicants since July 2018. Existing SRHS clients continue to receive monthly benefits until administration winds down; those on SIS or SAID will have the SRHS amount folded into their regular monthly payment, and clients not on other income assistance will be supported to apply for the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit (and, for working families with children, the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive).

Good to know

Included for completeness because it still surfaces in searches, but it is closed to new applicants and ends by August 31, 2026 - new renters should be directed to the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit instead. Closure date and transition path read directly from saskatchewan.ca. Benefit amount left blank because the current page no longer publishes a rate (program is winding down).
