The Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit (COHB) is more than financial aid—it’s one of the few long-term solutions helping families survive endless subsidized housing waitlists. With waits stretching up to 15 years, the COHB offers immediate, portable support that keeps people from homelessness. By prioritizing survivors, seniors, people with disabilities, and those at risk, this program gives hope, stability, and the power to choose safe housing while waiting for permanent options
