Calgary homes are eligible for the program if they are:
built before 1998;
detached or semi-detached homes, duplexes, rowhouses, or townhomes; and
installed on a permanent foundation.
Eligibility is based on the number of people living in the home and the total household income (including income from anyone 18 or older who lives in the home).
The Home Upgrades stream is currently full and waitlisting new applications. If you are a homeowner or renter, please apply to be added to the waitlist.
You can also still participate in open streams like RetroKits and Workshops.
“After searching online for options, I found the Home Upgrades Program. It was truly a lifesaver and an incredible relief. Their team contacted me almost immediately and stepped in before my situation became even worse. They replaced my furnace and hot water tank as quickly as possible. I am not exaggerating when I say I burst into tears. I was overwhelmed with relief, gratitude, and the feeling that the weight I'd been carrying was finally gone.”
