GrantID: 75031

Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This opportunity provides support to residents pursuing home improvement projects that reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. It is designed to help occupants of one- to four-unit residential buildings navigate a complex landscape of programs, incentives, and technical options related to energy efficiency, electrification, and renewable energy. The program emphasizes equitable access, particularly for historically underserved populations, including low- and moderate-income residents, renters, and those in Environmental Justice communities.
The initiative is initially available in select municipalities, with the goal of expanding statewide over time. Applicants may include homeowners and tenants who are seeking guidance to improve their energy systems, optimize energy use, and integrate sustainable technologies into their homes. Small businesses or nonprofit organizations are generally not eligible, as the focus is on individual residential properties and their occupants.
Funding is intended to provide personalized technical guidance, connect residents with available incentives, and facilitate financing opportunities for energy-related home improvements. Participants benefit from tailored support throughout the process, including assistance in understanding available programs, evaluating energy-saving options, and planning projects in a way that maximizes long-term impact. The program does not provide direct monetary awards but offers significant indirect value by helping residents access other funding opportunities and navigate incentives efficiently.
Eligibility typically requires residency in the targeted area and occupancy of a one- to four-unit residential building. The program emphasizes inclusivity, aiming to reduce barriers for residents who might face challenges in accessing technical guidance, information, or financial resources. By supporting informed decision-making, the program helps residents implement projects that contribute to long-term energy savings, sustainability, and community-wide environmental benefits.
Participation in this initiative allows residents to better plan, implement, and complete energy-efficient and electrification projects while receiving ongoing guidance and support from trained professionals.
Organizations and individuals based in Massachusetts who are engaged in Non-Profit Support Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
