Important Notice:
Enrollment in Mi’kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Project [MHEEP] has closed for the 2024/25 year. We encourage those with privately-owned homes in First Nations to fill out the form below, but please note that, if eligible, they may be added to a waitlist until early 2025.
MHEEP Application for Privately-owned Homes in First Nations
Please review the following information and complete the form to confirm your private ownership (e.g. Certificate of Possession).
Eligibility
- The home must be in a First Nation
- The home must be a single-unit home; duplexes and triplexes are permitted
- The home cannot have participated in MHEEP before
Please Note: If you live in a band-owned home, please contact your Housing department directly to express your interest in MHEEP.
If you own your home (e.g. have a Certificate of Possession) for your home and the home is in a First Nation, you may apply directly to MHEEP.
Privately-owned homes in First Nations may be eligible for several ENS programs, including:
Homeowners in First Nations are encouraged to look into other programs before deciding if MHEEP is the best fit for them. For all other programs other than MHEEP, please follow the relevant application procedures using the program links provided above. Your home is only permitted to enroll in one ENS program at a time.
If you submit a signed letter from your community administration office confirming your homeownership, this will speed up the process and we won’t need to take any further verification steps. If you don’t upload this letter, that’s no problem! We’ll try to contact your community administration office for you. Note that if we aren’t able to obtain verification from your community administration office, we may need to ask you to send us a signed letter at that point.
If the homeowner is not the primary occupant of the home, please note that MHEEP requires that the owner be willing to schedule appointments and sign all required paperwork.
