> The economic impact of COVID-19 has made it hard for many people to pay their rent. That’s why we’ve introduced the Temporary Rental Supplement, which provides financial support of up to $500 for three months.
> 
> Applications for this supplement are now open. If you’ve been impacted and think you may be eligible, learn more and apply today at the BC Housing website.
> 
> APPLY NOW

> 
> Vulnerable people in the community need our support to stay safe during this crisis – so, on Tuesday, we announced a partnership with the hotel industry, local governments, and non-profits. So far, we’ve confirmed 900 spaces in 23 sites to help folks self-isolate. 
> 
> These spaces will be available to people experiencing homelessness, those without a safe place to stay, and folks who have COVID-19 and need somewhere to recover in isolation.

> 
> 
> As Premier John Horgan said: “All of us are in this together.” That means everyone working together to get BC and Canada through this crisis.
> 
> John’s team is coordinating with the federal government to ensure support is offered to those in need – and to make sure people know what kind of help is available.
> 
> Our federal partners are offering the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which provides folks economically impacted by COVID-19 with financial support for up to 16 weeks.
> 
> APPLY TODAY
> 
> 
> This long weekend will look a little different for people in BC. Instead of gathering in-person with friends and family, we’ll find other ways to mark this weekend while protecting our health and the health of those close to us.
> 
> To the Jewish community celebrating Passover and the Christian community celebrating Easter, have a happy and safe holiday. Please stay home this weekend – unless, like the Easter Bunny, you have a special eggs-emption.

> 
> 
> Workers in healthcare, retail, and other essential services are doing incredible frontline work to get us all through this crisis – and the province is seeing a remarkable outpouring of gratitude.
> 
> We’re collecting messages of thanks from people across BC and publishing them on our website and social media. Will you add your message of thanks today?
