Grants for Community Housing Providers to upgrade homes
The Community Housing Energy Performance grant is delivering up to $18.3 million for eligible Community Housing Providers (CHPs) to provide energy performance upgrades at the homes that they own and/or manage.

- are in climate zones where extreme heat and cold are experienced (see map on page 9 of the guidelines).

- solar systems
- solar sharing technology
- reverse cycle air conditioners
