Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program – Launch of discussions with provinces and territories.
The Government of Canada is now initiating discussions with provincial/ territorial governments toward program development and launch of the new Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), in early 2025. To better deliver the benefits of retrofits (such as insulation and heat pumps) for low- to median-income households, programs in each jurisdiction will take on the planning and coordination of retrofits, including the payment of contractors. Working directly with regional delivery partners will complement existing regional programs and enable retrofits at no cost to homeowners and tenants. By working together, governments can offer effective and regionally tailored supports that cut energy bills while improving environmental performance.
We want to help Canadians make where they live more energy-efficient. The Canada Greener Homes Initiative will help homeowners save money, create new jobs across Canada for energy advisors and fight climate change.
