Canada-Manitoba Housing Benefit
The Canada-Manitoba Housing Benefit (CMHB) is a benefit paid to eligible renters who need assistance paying for their core housing costs. The benefit can be used anywhere in Manitoba. It is cost matched by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the Manitoba government. This financial assistance provides greater access and housing stability for vulnerable Manitobans.
