Once your information has been submitted
All approved applicants are served based on their level of need, therefore it is important to provide accurate and thorough information so needs can be appropriately assessed.
- If you have not been contacted in 90 days and you are still interested in subsidized housing, please complete an Update Form, which is also available at the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society Office.
- If there are changes in your household circumstances, please contact the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society Office. Specific changes may affect your position on the waitlist. Changes include, but are not limited to:
- Loss of income or change in income sources.
- Change in family size – adding or removing applicant members.
- Address/contact information changes.
- Housing Status – are you being evicted?
Due to recent Legislative updates, the online application submission for all Housing Programs will be paused while we work on the required changes. PDF Applications are still available.
Please be aware that once you have submitted your application online, and included all required supporting documentation, it must be signed in the presence of a Commissioner for Oaths in order to be processed.
All approved applicants will be placed in a suitable housing program based on the highest need first and then in the order in which the application was received. Please note that the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society will determine which housing program will best suit your household needs after the initial assessment and approval of your application.
Please visit the Medicine Hat Community Housing Society Office at #104 – 516 3rd St SE Medicine Hat, AB T1A 0H3 to sign your application in order for it to be processed. You are not required to make an appointment.
