CGAH-Canada Greener Affordable Housing (Social Housing)
Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Affordable Housing with Solify Advisors.
Unlock Funding for Energy Retrofits with the Canada Greener Affordable Housing Program.
The Canada Greener Affordable Housing (CGAH) program supports deep energy retrofits in multi-unit residential buildings with forgivable and low-interest loans. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) funds up to 100% of eligible retrofit costs, with a maximum of $170,000 per unit. Forgivable loans are up to $85,000 per unit or 80% of retrofit costs, while low-interest loans cover the rest.
Additionally, the program provides contributions for pre-retrofit activities, offering a maximum contribution of $130,000 per project.
To be eligible, projects must primarily involve residential buildings with at least 5 units or beds. Single detached dwellings, duplexes, and townhouses must be at least 10 years old, while mid- to high-rise, low-rise, and multiplex buildings must be at least 20 years old. Applicants must meet affordability criteria set by municipal, provincial, territorial, Indigenous government, or CMHC programs, which may include rent-geared-to-income, low-income, moderate-income, or established rent limits/thresholds.
