Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program

This program, delivered through our partners in provinces and territories, will help low-to-median-income homeowners and tenants retrofit their homes to reduce monthly energy bills.

The full cost of recommended retrofits will be covered for eligible households. That means that participants will not be asked to pay out of pocket to participate.
