Healthy Energy Homes Network Directory

The Healthy Energy Homes Network Directory is a database of resources for Indigenous communities and supporting organizations. It lists Canada-wide initiatives and province- or territory-specific programs focused on affordable housing, energy efficiency retrofits, clean energy transitions, and health-related home improvements such as radon mitigation.

• The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) provides extensive funding for Indigenous housing, including on-reserve programs like the 'Shelter Enhancement Program (SEP) renovation' and 'On-Reserve Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP)', as well as off-reserve and retrofitting support for multi-unit residential buildings.
• Several national initiatives focus specifically on energy efficiency and clean energy transitions for Indigenous communities, such as the 'Bringing it Home Project Accelerator' by Indigenous Clean Energy, which provides training and expert networks over 18 months, and the 'Wah-ila-toos' federal initiative providing funding and training for clean energy projects in rural and remote areas.
• Federal energy programs include Natural Resources Canada’s 'Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP)', which offers no-cost retrofits like heat pumps and insulation to low-to-median-income homeowners and tenants, and the 'Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative (DRAI)' for commercial and multi-unit residential buildings.
• Regional support varies by province, with British Columbia offering the 'CleanBC Better Homes Program' for greenhouse gas reduction rebates and the 'British Columbia Indigenous Clean Energy Initiative (BCICEI)' for capacity-building in clean energy projects.
• In the North, the 'Northern REACHE' program aims to reduce reliance on diesel by increasing renewable energy and energy efficiency in northern and Indigenous communities, while the 'Nunavut 3000' initiative seeks to build 3,000 new housing units through the Nunalingni Piruqpaalirut Fund.
• Health-specific housing interventions are available through the 'Lungs Matter: Home Radon Mitigation Grant Program' and the 'Take Action on Radon’s 100 Radon Test Kit Challenge', which provides free test kits to municipalities across Canada.
