Funding Wizard

 LIHEAP is a federally funded program aimed to assist low-income households that pay a high portion of their income to meet their energy needs. LIHEAP is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services.

There are several portions of the program that help accomplish this goal, such as:

• The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides one-time financial assistance to help balance an eligible household's utility bill.
• The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) provides assistance to low-income households that are in a crisis situation. Such an example would be a household receiving a 24-48 hour disconnect notice or service termination by their utility company. Another example would be a household facing an energy-related crisis that could be deemed potentially life-threatening in the household, such as a combustible appliance.
• LIHEAP Weatherization provides free energy efficiency upgrades to low-income households to lower their monthly utility bills while also improving the health and safety of the household's occupants.  
• Education on basic energy efficiency practices and instruction on the proper use and maintenance of installed weatherization measures.
• Energy budget counseling. 

The Low-Income Weatherization Program's (LIWP's) Farmworker Housing Component installs no-cost energy efficiency improvements and/or solar PV systems for qualified farmworker households. Funded by the State of California to help households save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the program lowers energy costs for families and makes other improvements to improve the livability of housing. 

Launched in 2019, the LIWP Farmworker Housing Component provides services in the 12 counties in California that have the highest farmworker populations, including: 

​​​FRESNO COUNTY - IMPERIAL COUNTY​​ - KERN COUNTY - MADERA COUNTY - MERCED COUNTY - MONTEREY COUNTY - SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY - STANISLAUS COUNTY - RIVERSIDE COUNTY - SANTA BARBARA COUNTY - TULARE COUNTY - VENTURA COUN​​​​TY 

The Affordable Multifamily Financing program targets multifamily properties where at least 50% of the units are income restricted.

Like all of the programs highlighted on GoGreen Financing, the Affordable Multifamily Financing program is designed to encourage growth in private market lending and features a credit enhancement to help financing entities mitigate risk. It is designed to leverage and complement existing state and utility efforts to encourage affordable multifamily properties to install energy efficiency retrofits.

Property must receive electric and/or gas service from any of the following investor-owned utilities (IOU):

• Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E®)
• San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E®)
• Southern California Edison (SCE®)
• Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas®)

Replacing your old and inefficient air conditioner units can save more money than you think

Incentives are available for the installation of new high-efficiency air conditioner (AC) units replacing your existing and operating air conditioner units. As your AC unit approaches or reaches its useful life expectancy of 15 years, replacing it with a new high efficient AC unit can save 40-60% on electricity compared to the existing unit.

 
If you are ready to replace your old unit with a new high efficiency air conditioner unit, please download the following information and contact us about your project. (All Projects are subject to funding availability)

Providing financial resources for your home or business
Through education and financial resources, 3CE Energy Programs assist our Central Coast Community with the switch from fossil fuels to clean energy alternatives. 

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measures, focusing our Energy Programs on the transportation and building sectors will provide the greatest impact on reducing GHG emissions locally.

Responding to community needs
As 3CE launches energy programs to meet our community’s goals, we continue to collaborate and engage with stakeholders to develop and enhance our energy programs.

The Customer Incentive Program is designed to encourage energy efficient lighting systems and the exploration and implementation of energy efficient technologies.  Often, the latter technologies are overlooked because customers are either unfamiliar with them, think they are too costly to apply at their facilities, or do not believe such technologies can effectively meet their energy needs. These technologies may address either equipment or operational change, therefore, if the Department can quantify a demand reduction and/or energy savings, there is a basis for providing an incentive to assist the customer. This program provides incentives in two separate areas, lighting, and energy efficient equipment.
