City and CPS Energy launch Low-Income Weatherization Program
The City of San Antonio has partnered with CPS Energy to launch Casa Verde SA, a weatherization assistance program for low-income households. The program, which was made possible through federal stimulus funds, is designed to assist low-income individuals by increasing the energy efficiency of their houses and reducing their utility bills.
Households at or below 200 percent of the federally determined poverty level whose homes have adequate structural conditions will qualify for Casa Verde SA. Participating households will receive weatherization measures that improve their energy efficiency. The City has initially targeted three areas for the program -- Dignowity Hill, the Roosevelt Corridor and the West side, however; everyone in the city is eligible to apply.
Approximately, 1,400 homes in San Antonio will be weatherized under this federally supported program over a two-year period. Homes to be weatherized under this program must meet basic structural and safety standards as required by federal and state guidelines.
