The Whistler Housing Authority is proud to have an inventory of 327 long-term rental units for qualified Whistler Employees. 

Our Employee Housing Rental Program is specific to Whistler's workforce. All applicants to this program must be qualified full-time employees or qualified retirees. 

Rental rates are based on 30% of the applicant's gross household income (with minimums and maximum rental rates for each building), and unit selection is restricted by household size to ensure the inventory is optimized. 

Before you apply to the Employee Housing Rental Program review the eligibility guidelines to ensure that you qualify for the program, and you have all of your supporting documentation ready. 

Applicants to our programs will acknowledge that the Rental Program’s eligibility requirements may change over time.

Occupancy Standard:
To support the most optimal use of the available housing for the resort’s workforce, occupancy standards will be applied to determine an applicant’s need for housing. Occupancy standards are defined based on BC Housing’s standards and specifies the standards for household sizes relative to the number of bedrooms in a Residential Unit.

The following Occupancy Standards apply for WHA rentals:
- No more than two (2) and no less than one (1) person per bedroom.
- Spouses and couples share a bedroom.
These occupancy standards have the effect that a single applicant wishing to live alone, or a couple living together, would be eligible for a studio or 1 bedroom unit only. A single parent of one child would qualify for a two bedroom unit. Single and couples can apply for a larger unit only if additional bedrooms will be occupied by a qualified employee. All occupants are required to be identified in the lease and meet all other eligibility requirements.
