The City is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the AC Unit Program. This initiative provides free air conditioning units to help eligible low-income households stay cool during the summer, regardless of immigration status.
Due to limited supply, the City will conduct a weighted lottery to select recipients.
Priority will be given to applicants who:
- Are at high risk of heat-related illness, such as: people with disabilities, children, pregnant individuals and/or seniors (65+)
- Rent
- Do not currently have an AC unit
- Are veterans
We encourage you to apply if:
- Your household does not have an air conditioner
- Your household income is at or below 30% of the HUD Area Median Income
Please note, applicants will be excluded if:
- You have previously received an AC through this program
- You live in a building with central AC
Submit one application per household. If you rent a room, only include the family members who live in the same room.
If you have any questions or need assistance completing the online application, please call 617-466-2409 for support.
Note: phone number correction from last week’s newsletter.
