Home Repair

The Special Needs Assistance for Seniors program normally funds specific home repair expenses.

Guideline - a maximum of $15,000 in a lifetime.

You must be a homeowner or mobile homeowner on the Alberta Seniors Benefit program, to receive assistance in covering the cost of home repairs. A copy of your current land title will be obtained by the program to verify that you are the homeowner or have a legal life estate interest in your residence. Mobile homeowners must submit a copy of the Bill of Sale the first time they make a claim for home repairs.

You must have owned and lived in the home for three consecutive years immediately prior to applying for assistance with home repairs. You are expected to live in the home for three years after obtaining a benefit for home repairs. However, repairs of a critical nature (i.e. furnace, hot water tank) may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Normally only repairs that are described in this website will be considered. Some home repairs are beyond the scope of the program and may not be considered.
