Community Energy Project partners with low-income communities on the frontlines of climate change to create more resilient, efficient, and healthy homes.

We transform homes, share skills and community wisdom, and advocate for energy justice.

Community Energy Project provides free home services focused on safety, health, and energy efficiency. We provide free community education and supplies, as well as direct home energy upgrades and repairs. All our services are made possible by partnerships with community members and service organizations, utilities, corporations, foundations, and government agencies.

improving equity for all

Equity means that everyone has a fair and just share of social, natural, and economic resources.

Improving equity means promoting justice, impartiality, and fairness within the procedures and processes of institutions or systems, as well as their distribution of resources. Tackling equity issues requires an understanding of the underlying or root causes of outcome disparities within our society.
