The Emergency Heating Repair Program will start today, November 1st. Application packages will be available online here.

When an application is sent, it’s reviewed by a loan processor. If the application is missing documentation will be considered incomplete. Once the loan processor receives the missing documentation then it’s a complete application and the timeline would start. Then the application would take 48 to 72 hours before Department of Housing’s construction team contact the applicant to set up a sight visit at the property to access the work.
