In order to qualify for the Casa Verde SA weatherization program, participants must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in this chart:

Priority is given to the elderly, persons with disabilities, families with young children, households with high energy costs relative to income, and households with high energy consumption. 

For each family member above 6, add $7,480 per year ($623 per month). If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), you are income eligible.

Houses must be structurally sound. Casa Verde SA is NOT a home repair program.

Casa Verde is administered by CPS Energy and uses local contractors and energy auditors to complete the work. The program consists of four steps:

1. Income eligibility is determined.  Acceptable proofs of income are:

• Current wage stubs for one month.
• Award letters from Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
• If household receives only cash, a signed, notarized affidavit will be acceptable.
• Verification of Unemployment Compensation payments. (Documented list of payments or photocopies of payment stubs.)
• Documentation (i.e. Federal Income tax filing) that will verify self-employment gross income for the previous year or previous quarter of the current calendar year. 

2. An energy evaluation of your home is conducted by a professional inspector.

3. Installation of FREE weatherization measures for households that qualify. Eligible households may receive the following upgrades:

• Attic, wall, and/or floor insulation
• Weather-stripping and caulking
• Replacement of incandescent light bulbs with CFLs
• Install new gas water heaters, space heaters, HVAC, or window air conditioning units

4. Final Inspection: Contractors will hold a post-inspection to ensure quality work and that the new energy efficiency measures will result in energy savings.  A customer satisfaction survey is conducted at the time of final inspection. 

Households may receive up to $6,500 in services, but this amount is not guaranteed.
