Rent assistance?

LegacyUser · 2013-03-11 10:53:53

Hello, My partner works full time, I am at home with baby & we have a school going child too. We get a small weekly amount from FIS. I was wondering if we would get any help paying our rent...or is rent supplement not for cohabiting couples? Thanks

Claimants working more than 29 hours per week will not qualify for rent supplement.
