$50,000 Climate Rebate Program for Home Energy Upgrades
Summary
About $200,000 sits in the Climate Action Fund, and staff proposes using $50,000 to rebate weatherization, heat pumps, and possibly solar — tiered so lower-income households get more. Councilors asked to focus on home heating (not bikes), explore plug-in solar for renters, and find ways to avoid upfront costs for fixed-income residents.
