Overview - Saskatchewan Housing Corporation

Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) is a Crown corporation operated by Saskatchewan Community Resources. SHC provides access to affordable, suitable and adequate housing for people who have an identified need and who could not afford it without assistance.

The development, delivery and administration of housing programs in Saskatchewan is at the direction of SHC. Delivery and administration costs are funded by the provincial, federal and municipal governments. Programs are generally targeted to specific segments of the population where there is an identified need for assistance.

The day-to-day management of 30,400 housing units and the co-ordination of services to tenants are provided through a network of local housing authorities, non-profit organizations, housing co-operatives and private landlords, and by SHC. SHC owns approximately 18,400 units, with the balance owned by non-profits, co-operatives and other private interests.

SHC also delivers a variety of home repair programs designed to assist low-income homeowners, and sometimes landlords. Assistance may be in the form of a forgivable or repayable loan or may be a grant.
