The reason the Greener Homes program is sending out those emails is that they are trying to actually determine how much of the fund remains. The program has always said that you have a year to use the funds after you get the energy assessment, but they haven’t actually been closing files. There are a ton of dated applications that they allocated grant money to that have not moved forward, and so they are sending these emails now to close out the older applications that have gone past that year, and also why they’ve put the March 31st deadline on new grant applications. They need to get a better idea of how much of the fund is actually used up as they are lobbying for refunding in the next federal budget. It doesn’t surprise me that emails letting them know you still intend to move forward are keeping those files open.
