Somerville Expands Microgrant Program for Rental Energy Upgrades
Somerville's Save Energy Microgrant Program now offers $2,000 grants for energy efficiency upgrades in rental units. The program's income eligibility threshold has been raised, allowing more property owners to benefit.

The City of Somerville's Microgrant Program provides $2,000 grants for energy efficiency improvements in rental units, now available for up to 25 properties. Eligibility has broadened, with new income limits allowing tenants with household incomes below 100% of Area Median Income to qualify.
Eligible upgrades include insulation, high-efficiency appliances, air-source heat pumps, and necessary electrical enhancements. Property owners are urged to apply early due to limited funding, with applications processed on a rolling basis. Additional resources for renters and homeowners are also accessible through Somerville's Energy Advisor for energy-related inquiries and assessments.
