Multifamily Retrofit
Energy-efficient upgrades for condos, townhomes and managed properties
What you get
We offer rebates and grants to offset the cost of in-unit and common area upgrades that improve energy efficiency and can lower your utility bills.
Properties within Tribal Communities, built before 1986, with tenants that use rental assistance, or those classified as "affordable" or "mixed (market/affordable)" qualify for the highest amounts.
Individual condo and townhome owners also qualify for this program. See if you qualify for higher rebates based on your income here.
