Don’t forget! You only have until March 31st, 2023 to apply for the one-time top up to the Canada Housing Benefit. The one-time top up aims to help low-income renters with the cost of renting. You may be eligible for a tax-free one-time payment of $500 if your income and the amount that you pay on rent qualify.
