Qalipu First Nation (QFN) Housing Division is excited to announce the launch of the “Home Energy Efficiency Initiative” on June 24, 2025.
This program will provide financial assistance to existing homeowners for the purchase and installation of heat pumps, aiming to lower home heating costs and reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. While funding is limited, data collected throughout this initiative will be carefully analyzed to evaluate the need for similar programs in the future.
This initiative will focus on members requesting a reduction in their reliance on oil and wood as their main home heating sources.
Applicants MUST submit all required documentation by July 31, 2025.
It is strongly recommended that applicants and/or co-applicants review the application thoroughly to ensure that all necessary documents are included. Incomplete applications may not be reviewed or processed.
