Portland, OR Heat Response Program for low-income households
The city of Portland implemented the Heat Response Program which works with local aid groups to distribute and install air-conditioning units in low-income households where residents are age 60 and older or have medical conditions that make them more vulnerable to heat. The program is using resources from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund to provide 15,000 AC units over the next five years.
