What Is a Household Defined As for Purposes of a Housing Subsidy?

To apply for a subsidy you have to be part of a household. The subsidy scheme recognises a household as:

  • Couples who are married or who live together
  • Single people with dependants (e.g minor children, old or disabled people who rely on them for financial assistance)

Single people who live on their own do not qualify for a government housing subsidy, although they can still rent council houses.
