The Government of Canada thanks the petitioners for sharing their concerns?about programs and funding initiatives for repairs associated with condominium buildings in Canada. 

The Government of Canada recognizes that many aging apartments and condominium buildings may face considerable repairs and that the associated financial pressures can place a sizeable burden on residents. The Government currently offers support that may be applicable towards major repairs, renovations, and retrofits for multi-unit and condominium buildings. The Government of Canada’s Retrofit Hub and the list of Green Building Programs and Funding provide resources to help plan, finance, and implement retrofit projects that support improved energy efficiency and decarbonization measures in multi-unit residential buildings.

The Government of Canada has previously provided support for renovations, retrofits and energy efficiency upgrades for multi-unit residential buildings, including in some cases for condominium buildings, through programs like the Canada Greener Homes Loan. The budgets for these programs have been fully allocated and they are not accepting new applications.

In the 2026 Spring Economic Update, the Government announced its intention to consult on possible additional financing measures to support the continued supply of more owner-occupied homes in advance of Budget 2026. The full spectrum of rental and owner-occupied housing, including condominium buildings, is essential to delivering on the Government of Canada’s goal of supporting more housing supply and affordability across the country. 

Housing in Canada is a shared responsibility between different levels of government. As such, the petitioners are encouraged to contact their provincial and territorial governments, as well as their respective provincial and territorial housing authorities for information about potential programs, financing tools, and initiatives that may be available to support major repairs or upgrades associated with condominium buildings.  

The concerns outlined in the petition provide valuable feedback and will be taken into consideration as the Government of Canada continues to refine its housing programs. Once again, the Government of Canada thanks the petitioners for sharing their concerns.
