Selection of WEHB Applicants

Applicants for the WEHB will be selected utilizing the Central Housing Registry Windsor Essex (CHR) wait list in accordance with the priority rankings as per the current Local Rules Windsor Essex pursuant to the Housing Services Act and related CHR regulations.

Application Process

Application

Applicants who have expressed interest in a WEHB and are currently on the CHR wait list must provide the following information to be considered for the WEHB:

• Completed WEHB Application form

• Completed Regional Consent form

• Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Notice of Assessment from most recent tax year or proof of current ongoing income (see “Income verification” below) for each family member aged 16 years or older, excluding dependents who are full-time students

• Proof of status in Canada for all members of the household

• Proof of current or intended address in the Windsor Essex Region

• Completed Direct Deposit Authorization Application form (for clients).

Income verification

Net income is normally verified using line 236 of the latest CRA Notice of Assessment, excluding any net Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) income and WEHB housing benefit payments. Deductions for RDSP income or WEHB housing benefit payments may be verified directly or through the income tax return.

Where the amount in line 236 of the most recent Notice of Assessment does not adequately reflect future income, a different amount may be used to determine the WEHB payable. This income must be verified at source (e.g. most recent payment stub, most recent statement, letter from employer, etc.) and should reflect the anticipated income over the next 12 months.
