  • Confirmation of homeownership
  • Details about their service role and community impact
  • A brief description of their current window needs

    • Learn more about your story and service
    • Confirm your home’s eligibility and window compatibility
    • Answer any questions about the program
    This step helps us ensure your home is a good fit for the program and sets the stage for a smooth installation if you’re selected.

Applications are reviewed by a Thompson Creek selection committee based on:

  • Demonstrated community impact
  • Window need and home compatibility, verified during the virtual assessment
