Housing
Support for people who have housing concerns
Whether you're trying to keep the place you have or looking for somewhere safer, our outreach team helps with paperwork, rent top-ups, landlord conflicts and the search itself — in Whitehorse and throughout the territory.
What we can help with
In Whitehorse and, through our rural housing program, across the rest of the Yukon.
Finding housing
Applying for affordable housing and income support programs, getting ID, and the search itself.
Moving into a new unit
Lease signing, the damage deposit, understanding your tenancy agreement, and start-up supplies for your new home.
Staying where you are
Emergency housing funding to avoid eviction — disputing an eviction, rental arrears, bed bug treatments and emergency repairs.
Two programs that change the odds
Tenant Wisdom course
A short course on your rights and responsibilities as a tenant — leases, repairs, rent increases, and how to handle a conflict before it costs you your housing.
Landlords Working to End Homelessness
Whitehorse landlords who rent to people the market usually screens out, with Blood Ties as a backstop for both sides. If you're a landlord with a unit and an open mind, we'd like to talk.
The Steve Cardiff Tiny House Community
Five tiny homes on one lot — transitional housing that started with a single house in 2012 and grew into a community.
