The Green Homes pilot program is offering Evanston homeowners and landlords no- or low-cost home repairs and upgrades - paid for by the City - to help residents feel healthier in their homes and lower utility bills.
What type of home repairs and upgrades can I get? A wide range of improvements are eligible: new electrical systems; more or better insulation; new windows or doors; rooftop solar panels; flood prevention; lead pipe replacement; and others. The value of improvements could be up to $20,000 or more.
Why should I participate? This program can reduce your utility bills, increase energy efficiency, improve the health and safety of your home, increase the value of your property, and help you access similar programs. In most cases, the pilot program will cover the full cost of home improvements.
How does the program work? Apply to the program in one of the ways explained below. If you’re eligible and funds are available, Elevate will assess your property’s needs and prioritize repairs and upgrades. A construction manager will guide you through the process and all work will be performed by qualified contractors, who you will be involved in choosing.
