Pima County is getting federal help to make low-income housing more sustainable to heat and cool.
The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to accept federal grants for the county’s Home Repair Program, which funds efficiency projects for low-income residents.
More than $730,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Health and Human Services will help qualifying homes make repairs and upgrades, like insulation enhancements to make heating and cooling more affordable, along with roof repairs and plumping updates.
Low-income, owner-occupied households that are outside Tucson city limits could qualify for assistance, according to county officials. Priority will be given to families with young children, elderly homeowners and those with disabilities.
