The rising cost of living means that there are many people who are only a paycheque or two away from not being able to pay their rent. At CMHA Kelowna we have a mission to create a mentally healthy community, and we believe that having a place to call home is part of the foundation of good mental health.
The Central Okanagan Rent Bank program, helps to increase the housing stability in our community for individuals who are experiencing short-term financial difficulties. The rent bank offers interest – free, repayable loans as well as access to relevant support services to eligible renters in the Central Okanagan (Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland).
