Income Eligible Programs
If you live in a single family home or 2-4 unit building and you qualify as low-income*, you may be eligible for energy-saving upgrades that can lower your monthly energy bills and make your home more comfortable at no cost. Property owners may also be eligible based on your or your tenants’ income.
