Today, Minister Dabrusin, and Parliamentary Secretary McKelvie announced support through the Green Municipal Fund’s Community Efficiency Financing and Sustainable Affordable Housing initiatives for 162 projects across Canada that will help people access home energy retrofit financing and build more energy-efficient, affordable, and resilient homes.
Delivered through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Green Municipal Fund, these projects will help Canadians lower energy costs, improve housing affordability, and strengthen communities in the face of a changing climate.
Through an investment of $66.3 million, municipalities and local delivery partners will make it easier for homeowners to undertake energy-saving upgrades such as improved insulation, high-efficiency windows, heat pumps, and other retrofit measures.
Together, these projects support energy efficiency improvements, emissions reductions, affordable housing innovation, residential retrofits, and innovative financing solutions across Canada.
Key Messages
Making homes more energy efficient helps Canadians lower their energy bills, improve comfort, and reduce emissions.
Through a $66.3 million investment, we are making it easier for homeowners and communities to undertake energy-saving upgrades like insulation, high-efficiency windows, and heat pumps.
These projects will help Canadians reduce household energy costs while improving housing affordability and making communities more resilient.
By working with municipalities, utilities, and local partners, we are helping more Canadians access the financing they need to make their homes more energy efficient.
We are also supporting more energy-efficient and low-carbon affordable housing in communities across Canada.
Lower energy use means lower costs for Canadians, stronger communities, and a cleaner, more competitive economy.
