Toronto Rent Bank Program

The Rent Bank is an innovative program that offers interest-free loans for rental arrears to families who face eviction. It helps families on the brink of eviction to work on other means of improving their life situation with our support. The Loan Fund is not for first and last month's rent. For more information, see the Toronto Rent Bank Program.
