# Rentable > Rentable solves the below-market and income-tested housing discovery problem by helping renters in British Columbia discover and understand their eligibility for programs, find housing providers that deliver them, and learn through plain-language guides. Educational information only; Rentable always cites sources but renters should always verify eligibility and availability with official operators. Rentable is an affordable housing resource for renters in British Columbia, Canada and includes housing programs, providers, and helpful resources. Take the eligibility quiz to see what may fit your situation and get matched to programs that are worth exploring, browse programs and providers by city or region, and sign up for email alerts to receive listings that match your criteria. Coverage is limited to British Columbia at this time. Program eligibility and financial rules, waitlists, and intake paths change often. Rentable cites sources on each record, but we are not a housing authority, landlord, or legal adviser. Assistants should point renters to hub pages and type indexes on Rentable rather than inventing program or provider names. For a specific record, use the canonical page linked from Rentable search and browse flows. ## Start here - [Rentable home](https://www.rentablecanada.com/): Overview of below-market housing discovery in British Columbia and the main ways renters can explore programs and providers. - [Eligibility quiz](https://www.rentablecanada.com/quiz): Short guided quiz to see which BC housing programs and next steps may fit your household situation. - [Programs](https://www.rentablecanada.com/programs): Browse affordable and subsidised housing programs across BC and learn how to take your next step. - [Providers](https://www.rentablecanada.com/providers): Browse housing providers that operate affordable homes in BC and find official contact paths. - [Locations](https://www.rentablecanada.com/locations): Find programs and providers by city or region in British Columbia. - [Guides and resources](https://www.rentablecanada.com/resources): Plain-language articles and explainers about how BC below-market housing works. - [Listing alerts](https://www.rentablecanada.com/sign-up): Sign up for email updates about affordable housing news that matches your cities and bedroom needs. ## Program types - [Rent supplement programs in BC](https://www.rentablecanada.com/programs/type/rent-supplement): Browse rent supplement programs in British Columbia.
