This program makes up the largest part of WBH’s portfolio, with approximately 1200 housing units that are required to be at least 10% below market rental rates. WBH has 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, condo-style townhouses, and 3- and 4-bedroom townhouses.
Self-Contained Units – In 2002, the province designated WBH as the provincial housing management body for the region to manage seniors self-contained housing units. These units are subsidized by the government, which means tenants pay up to 30% of their total income toward rent and the province provides an annual grant to manage the operations of these properties.
Rotary House Seniors Lodge – WBH also manages the one designated supportive-living seniors’ lodge in the region on behalf of the province. Rent is calculated at 30% of the applicant(s) gross income. Rotary House Lodge, a 39-bed property, is funded through municipal property taxes. This property offers seniors independent living with some supports like meals, snacks, weekly light housekeeping and in-house recreation as part of the residents’ monthly service fee.
Applicants for Rotary House must also complete the Medical Assessment Form.
The seniors self-contained properties are located in the downtown area, Anzac and Fort Chipewyan as follows:

WBH also manages the Rent Supplement Program on behalf of the province. Applicants for these programs do not have to be tenants with WBH. The subsidy can be used on any rental in the region. There are two benefits people can apply for under this program:
