Social Housing Retrofit Support Program (SHRSP)

FortisBC and BC Hydro are working together to help housing providers and charitable organizations save energy and costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their buildings. Better yet, we’ll help guide you through the process.

Participants must apply through their key account manager and be approved before accessing funding and rebates through this program. BC Hydro customers can contact their key account managers for more information. Charities that want to participate in the program but do not have a residential building can apply and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

1. You must be a FortisBC natural gas customer under any rate class other than rate 1 and an commercial electricity customer of either BC Hydro, FortisBC or a municipal electricity customer.
2. You must be a registered charity providing assistance to income-qualified persons, or a housing provider that is:
   • a local government
   • housing society registered under the Societies Act
   • a housing co-op registered under the Cooperative Association Act or
   • a governing body of an Indigenous band, provided the housing is primarily for low-income households
3. You must be either the registered owner, long-term leaseholder, or property manager of the premises.
4. The building where energy conservation measures will be implemented must be an existing multi-unit residential building with a minimum of nine units. Spaces being retrofitted should be common areas. Recreational spaces can qualify.
