Description

Description (Service) Bruce County Housing Corporation (BCHC) provides affordable housing to families, seniors, couples, single people and people with special needs in a variety of housing forms including townhouses, apartments, single and semi-detached dwellings. Offered on a rent-geared-to-income basis or as market rent units. Selection of applicants from the waiting list for housing is based on the date of application with special priority for assaulted women and children.
