The City of Toronto is working to address the impacts of climate change related to frequent and extreme heat events by developing policies and programs to address excessive indoor temperatures. This summer, the City will be launching a pilot program to provide free portable air conditioners to low-income seniors with health-related cooling needs.
Successful applicants for the Air Conditioner Assistance Program have been notified and must submit verification documentation by June 22 to remain eligible for the program. If you require help, please call the Human Services Integration Office at 416-397-2220. Live interpretation is available by phone upon request.

If you are still in need of cooling assistance, please consider applying for a ‘Cooling Device’ assistance through the City’s Hardship Fund. You can also find tips and resources to help you manage the heat and keep cool this summer.
