The Canada Greener Affordable Housing (CGAH) Program supports the development and renovation of energy-efficient affordable housing.
Goals include boosting energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and keeping housing affordable.
Funding options include grants (non-repayable) for retrofits and renewable energy projects, and loans (repayable with low interest) for major renovations and new constructions.
Eligibility criteria require applicants to own or manage affordable housing units and meet energy efficiency standards.
The application process involves preparing a project proposal, completing an application form, and undergoing CMHC review before funding approval.
Participating in the CGAH Program offers homeowners and renters lower utility bills, enhanced home comfort, healthier living conditions, a reduced carbon footprint, and sustainable resource use.
