Pre-natal Shelter Supplement

Provided by Government of British Columbia

Provides a monthly benefit for single pregnant women to meet the extra cost of accommodations prior to birth.
A pre-natal shelter supplement is available for single pregnant recipients with no spouse and no dependent child. This supplement is intended to assist single pregnant recipients in meeting extra costs associated with securing or maintaining stable accommodation prior to the birth of their child. It provides up to a maximum of $195 per month. Recipients are eligible for pre-natal shelter supplement when a pregnancy is confirmed and confirmation of shelter costs above $500 – either at their existing residence or at the residence where they plan to move – is provided.

Recipients must provide written confirmation of pregnancy and the expected date of delivery from either a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner or a midwife. The confirmation must be written on letterhead or a prescription pad. The ministry is not responsible for any fees associated with required documentation. Recipients must also provide a written document, unless already on the system, to verify the actual shelter cost is above a single person shelter allowance rate of $500 per month (i.e., rent receipt or rental agreement).
