$500,000
Grants of up to $500,000 to cover up to 80% of your eligible costs.
Open To:
Canadian municipal governments (e.g., towns, cities, regions, districts and
local boards thereof)
Municipally owned corporations, such as municipal housing service providers; or
Non-profit, mission-driven affordable housing providers, including cooperatives.
Application Deadline:

funding has been allocated.
Eligible Costs:
See the application guide for a list of eligible costs.

JUMP TO:
 * Eligibility requirements
 * Time to complete projects
 * How to Apply
 * Quebec municipalities

We fund pilot projects to test innovative and ambitious technical, process- or
business-model solutions to improve environmental outcomes. These projects
provide the opportunity to influence future projects for an organization, or for
the affordable housing sector more broadly, through the sharing of lessons
learned and knowledge.

We’re seeking leading-edge pilot projects that generate significant GHG
reductions for affordable housing providers and their communities. These
projects may test solutions through a small-scale version of a capital project,
or a full-scale, replicable application of a new approach. Pilots can include
solutions implemented in other jurisdictions with positive results that have yet
to be tested in your community.


ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible for funding, retrofits must achieve a 25 percent reduction in
energy consumption. New construction projects are required to meet NZE/NZER (Net
Zero Energy/Net Zero Energy Ready) standards. Specifically, buildings in most
regions must target a net annual total energy use intensity (TEUI) of less than
80 kWh/m2 at project completion. Northern applicants may target a net annual
TEUI of up to 120 kWh/m2.

Note that pilot projects are expected to exceed the minimum energy eligibility
criteria.

To be eligible for funding, at least 30% of the units in the proposed building
must have rents at or below 80 percent of the local median market rent.

See application guide for more details.


TIME TO COMPLETE PROJECTS

Projects are typically expected to be completed within three years of FCM
approval.

Notes:

Funding is stackable with CHMC’s Co-Investment Fund and other initiatives of the
National Housing Strategy, as well as programs available through the provinces
or territories.

We reserve the right to make changes to eligibility criteria and the types of
projects funded through this offer.


HOW TO APPLY



1.    Review the application guide. Make sure to look at the eligibility
criteria and required document sections. 
2.    Visit the FCM funding portal Opens in a new tab. to create your profile
and request a PIN to access the system. Already have an FCM funding portal

4.    Eligible projects will be invited to submit a full application.  


QUEBEC MUNICIPALITIES

FCM has an agreement with Quebec's Ministère des Affaires municipales et de
l’Habitation (MAMH)  Opens in a new tab. that allows the ministry to review
applications to GMF before they are submitted to FCM. Quebec municipalities and
municipally-owned corporations interested in applying should contact GMF Opens
in a new tab..

Municipally-owned corporations are not included in the agreement with MAMH. They
must obtain authorization from the Quebec government to secure an agreement with
FCM, in accordance with the Ministère du Conseil exécutif. Private non-profit
organizations can submit to GMF directly.
