Free Weather‑ready Home Assessments and new Durham Greener Homes Loan now available house🏡💵

Durham Region is expanding its Durham Greener Homes program with the launch of a new Weather‑ready Home Assessment and low‑interest loan program. While both programs are part of the broader Durham Greener Homes initiative and are designed to support more comfortable, efficient and resilient homes, each offers a different type of support.

Available at no cost to residents, the Weather‑Ready Home Assessment helps homeowners, landlords and tenants understand how their homes may be impacted by extreme heat and cold, flooding and windstorms.

Launched at the Durham Home Energy and Electric Vehicle Expo on May 2, the free assessment is offered both on‑site and virtually across Durham Region. Participants receive a customized report with clear, home‑specific recommendations, ranging from simple do‑it‑yourself actions to larger retrofit opportunities.
