The Seniors’ Home Safety Tax Credit is a temporary, refundable personal income tax credit that can help you make your home safer and more accessible, helping you stay in your home longer.

In addition, the spouse or common-law partner of the individual must not have received a Property Tax Grant for the current fiscal year.
