Eviction Prevention
COSTI helps low-income individuals and families in North York stay in their homes and avoid eviction. If you are at risk of losing your housing because of unpaid rent or need help paying first and last month’s rent, we can assist you.
Those who qualify may receive financial support through programs such as the Rent Bank Program, the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), or the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP). Our goal is to prevent housing loss and make sure you have the help you need to remain safe and secure in your home.
