CEAP Renovation and Retrofit

As announced in Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Federal Government will invest $1 billion to renovate and energy retrofit social housing to help vulnerable Canadians with needed improvements to their homes while creating spin off jobs in construction and other industries. This will improve the quality of life for residents of these communities by keeping their homes safe and affordable and it will ensure these homes will continue to be available to meet the needs of future generations.

The funding that the Capital Region Housing Corporation has received from the Federal Government, in partnership with the Province of Alberta, will be used for renovation purposes for our properties.  Some of the renovations include, but are not limited to

• Paving
• Roofing
• Sidewalks
• Deep Utilities
• Exterior Lighting
• Flooring
• Furnaces
• Windows
• Kitchen Cabinets
• Washroom Vanities
• Boilers
