Energize for Adult Family Homes
About Energize for Adult Family Homes
The Energize for Adult Family Homes program will install heat pumps and other building improvements in 50-60 Adult Family Homes (AFH) in King County. This program will address community needs by supporting primarily low-income seniors and AFH clients, as well as AFH workers and operators, with cooling and improved indoor air-quality (IAQ) while reducing fossil fuel consumption in buildings.
In order to be eligible for this program, an Adult Family Home must be:
- Located in the Energize community service area. This includes the communities of Skyway, North Highline, White Center, and parts of Burien, Tukwila, and Renton (please use the map tool below to confirm geographic eligibility).
- A family home child care licensed by Washington State Department of Youth and Families
King County will cover 100% of installation costs of the heat pump system. In addition to heat pump upgrades, homes may be eligible for other building upgrades such as insulation, weatherization, ventilation, and home appliances.
