Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) Forms
If you receive an RGI subsidy, Circle will send you an Annual Review (AR) package once a year. The package includes forms that must be filled out to report the income of everyone in your household. These forms must be completed by the specific deadline provided in your package. Please mail or drop off your completed AR documents to your Community Tenant Services Worker (CTSW) at the Circle office. If you don’t know who your CTSW is, please contact tenantservices@circlelandtrust.ca, or 437-781-8432 ext. 2.

A household member ceases to be a full-time student
A member of the household begins or stops receiving social assistance, such as OW or ODSP
