As part of the program, a one-time payment of up to $2,500 may be available for first and last month's rent deposits for households finding new housing.Starting January 2017, agencies with eligible clients can refer them to Housing Connections. Funding is available up to March 31, 2018.More information about the allowance and eligibility criteria is available at http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=a66aec5cbc9f8510VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD&vgnextchannel=b4b31a2c74e30510VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD
