GREENER HOMES GRANT PROGRAM WIND-DOWN
HRAI has confirmed reports that the federal government’s Greener Homes grant program will STOP accepting new applicants in March of 2024.
NRCan has reported that the uptake of Greener Homes grants is exceeding forecasts, and that the average grant amount per application is higher than anticipated. While the program’s original target of 700,000 homes across Canada might not be met, it seems likely that the budgeted $2.6 billion in payouts will be. Knowing that there will be time needed between application for funds and receipt of those funds, the program might not wrap up until some time in 2025, even if the intake of initial applications ends in March. Either way, the program duration will fall short of the original seven- year term that was announced at launch.
NRCan has also confirmed that participants who have already applied under the grant program, or who apply before the closure date will be protected.
