Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP)

Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP) is sponsored by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) (administered by provinces). A successor to the previous Greener Homes Grant, this program focuses on helping low- and median-income households and renters install heat pumps, better insulation, improved air sealing, and other upgrades at no cost to reduce energy bills and lower household emissions.

CGHAP funds will flow through existing funding agreements managed by Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada . This distinctions-based approach aims to reduce administrative requirements and ensure that funds go directly toward the self-determined priorities of First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners.

In addition to using the funds for retrofits, Indigenous recipients may use CGHAP funding for related training and other residential energy efficiency priorities.
