Canada Greener Homes Initiative:

All homeowners in Canada can participate in the initiative. Only one homeowner per home can register. You must:

• prove ownership by providing a property tax bill number (This number can be found on municipal property tax documents.)
• prove the property is your primary residence with a valid piece of government-issued ID with the matching address, such as a driver’s licence
• If the property tax bill number is not available, alternative documents may be accepted (e.g. for rural areas, Newfoundland and Labrador, First Nations on-reserve).

The following groups are also eligible applicants under the initiative:

• Indigenous governments or organizations (e.g. band councils, land claim organizations)
• housing management bodies and other representative or Indigenous service delivery organizations with formal partnerships with Indigenous governments or organizations

These applicants are eligible to register multiple homes, including homes that are not the owner’s primary residence. The homes registered must be owned by the applicant and be occupied by Indigenous households.

Indigenous governments and organizations that want to retrofit a large number of homes that they own (e.g. community-scale) may submit a single application to streamline the registration process and access program funds through one funding agreement. They can apply by using the form in the Application Guide for Indigenous Governments and Organizations Retrofitting Multiple Homes through the Greener Homes Program.
