Improving Income Qualification for Energy Efficiency Programs

Energy efficiency programs are an important resource for subsidized affordable housing owners, managers, and residents. These programs enable properties operating on tight budgets to install efficiency upgrades that lower bills and improve health and comfort for low-income residents and communities. However, all too often affordable housing properties are unable to participate in these valuable programs due to unnecessarily exclusive income eligibility requirements and/or the sometimes burdensome administrative obligations associated with providing documentation.
