- Eligibility
- Low-income households (80% AMI or below) in under-resourced communities: CalEPA disadvantaged communities, or census tracts at or below 80% of statewide or county median income. A home assessment comes first, then the regional administrator schedules contractors. Enrollment runs community by community, so it is not open everywhere. A separate Tribal Direct Install track serves tribal housing.
