expected to participate in their co-op and participation requirements vary by co-op. For more information on the

requirements of individual co-ops, visit the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC website at www.chf.bc.ca.

To apply for co-ops, contact the individual co-op directly. Many co-ops accept applications through email as well as

Low End Market Rental (LEMR) Units

Low End Market Rental (LEMR) units are for individuals and families on low incomes that may not otherwise be

able to afford rents at typical market rates. Individuals and couples, including seniors, can apply for studio or 1

bedroom apartments, and families with children can apply for 2 or 3 bedroom apartment units.

All LEMR units have set maximum rents and maximum incomes for eligible tenants, which are adjusted annually.

When rents and income levels are to be adjusted, the property manager or housing provider will contact LEMR unit

tenants to inform them of changes to their rent and changes to maximum income eligibility levels.

How to apply

To apply for LEMR units, contact each property manager(s) directly. Please see page 6 and 7 for contact information.

Please note: the City of Richmond does not keep a waiting list for LEMR units.
