CHB What is the CHB?

The Canada-New Brunswick Housing Benefit is a short-term benefit available for up to 3 years. It helps New Brunswick families with children who work part-time or at lower-paying jobs who are struggling to afford rent. Families with children have additional costs for shelter, food, clothing, child care, and transportation. These costs can prevent parents from working more hours or looking for a new job. This new benefit provides short-term rental assistance so participants can redirect more of their income to these additional costs and increase their earned income.
