Get Help to Go Green
As part of its economic-stimulus program, the federal government has allocated more than $5 billion to help Americans make their homes more energy-efficient.
- If you have an annual household income of less than $44,100 (for a family of four), you may qualify for up to $6,500 in improvements through the Department of Energy's (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program.
- The DOE's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants Program is awarding an additional $3.2 billion to state, county and city governments to parcel out for local projects that improve the energy efficiency of residential and commercial buildings.
