Newcomers Settlement Assistance Program

How does it work?

Step 1

Talk to your settlement worker

Your settlement worker will discuss the program with you and help determine whether it may be a good fit for your needs and circumstances.

Step 2

Referral to RENEW

If you meet the initial requirements and wish to proceed, your settlement organization will send a referral to RENEW with your consent.

Step 3

Conversation with RENEW

RENEW will meet with you to learn more about your housing needs, income, household, readiness, and any support or accessibility needs.

Step 4

Accommodation matching and viewing

RENEW will meet with you to learn more about your housing needs, income, household, readiness, and any support or accessibility needs.

Step 5

Decision and move-in

RENEW makes the final placement decision. Approved participants will review and sign a program accommodation agreement before moving in.

A referral, interview, viewing, or place on a waiting list does not guarantee accommodation.
