VICTORIA -- A pilot project that helps Greater Victoria renters who have fallen on hard times has been extended until March 2022, thanks to an injection of cash. The Greater Victoria Rent Bank has secured almost $200,000 in funding from the United Way of Greater Victoria and BC Rent Bank, a project funded by the provincial government. The rent bank program focuses on housing stability and homelessness prevention for low-to-moderate income renters in the Capital Region. The money will provide various support services that help to stabilize a person's housing, including financial assistance, understanding and accessing community supports and mediation between landlords and tenants, just to name a few.
