Expanded access to income-qualified free Home Energy Scores

Did you know that free Home Energy Scores are available for home sellers that meet certain income requirements? The income qualifications were previously set at 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). They are now being expanded to 80% of the AMI.

These thresholds, which vary according to household size, can be viewed by visiting the Portland Housing Bureau’s AMI calculator tool. For example, a family of four would qualify if their total household income was less than $65,000 and a single individual would qualify with $50,000 or less in total annual income.

Along with this expansion, home sellers should now contact Community Energy Project (CEP) directly for verification. Once qualified, CEP will also schedule and perform the free Home Energy Assessment. You no longer need to fill out the City of Portland’s online form.
