Homestead Energy Efficiency Survey

Saving energy is good for you and for our climate

Homestead Community Land Trust and non-proﬁt organization Spark North West are partnering on a project to educate Homestead homeowners about opportunities to save energy, reduce utilities costs and convert home systems to all-electric. These changes can improve your comfort and create greater safety for children or pets.

They can save you money and also help address climate change. This program will include an opportunity to apply for an electrical system "makeover" that will be paid for through a combination of incentives and cash grants.

As we design this program, we want to know what's most important to you. Please help us design this program by providing responses to the following questions.
