Ottawa expands green home retrofit program for low-income Canadians

The Canadian federal government has reintroduced the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program to provide no-cost home energy retrofits for low- and median-income homeowners and renters in Quebec, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The initiative aims to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions through upgrades like heat pumps, insulation, and air sealing. Nearly $500 million in combined federal and provincial funding supports 35,000 households, with Quebec receiving the largest share at $243.5 million for 25,000 households. The program was previously available only to homeowners but now includes renters meeting income criteria.
