Air Conditioner Assistance Program: Apply before April 21

The City of Toronto is expanding its Air Conditioner Assistance Program to help more residents stay safe and cool this summer. This year, the City will provide at least 1,000 free portable air conditioners through a draw for eligible residents, including low‑income seniors with health needs, pregnant individuals and families with infants living in apartment buildings without air conditioning.

How do I know if I qualify to apply for a portable air conditioner?

All applicants must live in an apartment building in Toronto, do not currently have access to an air conditioning unit or in‑suite cooling, and belong to a low‑income household, based on Statistics Canada’s Low‑Income Measure.

More information about who can apply can be found online

How do I apply for the AC Assistance Program?
