If you are living on a low income and you need to repair or improve your home, this program can help give you a forgivable loan (meaning that some of it may not need to be paid back). This program is for homeowners living on low incomes. There are also some additional supports for people who rent their homes who are seniors or people living with disabilities.

Forgivable loans of up to $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, and $20,000, depending on your situation.

The Canada Caregiver Credit (CCC) is a non-refundable tax credit that can help you if you support a spouse, common-law partner, or a dependent with a physical or mental impairment.

You can claim between $2,350 and $7,525 on your tax return. The amount of the refund you get will be less than that. It depends on the amount of tax you paid during the tax year in which you are claiming this credit.

The Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit is a new refundable tax credit for the costs of certain renovation expenses to an eligible dwelling to establish a secondary unit. The secondary unit must allow a senior or an adult who is eligible for the disability tax credit to live with a qualifying relative. This amount may be claimed on your tax return (starting from the 2023 tax return).

You can claim up to $50,000 in qualifying expenditures for each qualifying renovation that is completed. The tax credit is 15% of your costs, up to a maximum of $7,500, for each claim you are eligible to make.
