Program Update:
September 23, 2011

The city of District Heights was awarded additional funds from Prince George's County Dept. of Housing and Community Development, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to fund the second round of the District Heights Energy Efficiency Program (DHEEP).

All program assistance for DHEEP audit/retrofit activities, funded through the Department of Energy's EECBG program, has been fully allocated for this year 2011.

We have started accepting applications for assistance, until Winter 2011, for the second round of funding for DHEEP activities that will be funded through the CDBG program. Program applications are located below. However, please note that due to the decrease in funds, the city will not be able to allocate the same amount of funding for home retrofits during this funding round.  As a result, the project scope will be revised to reflect the decrease in the program budget for retrofits.

The city will hold Information sessions for residents in 2011 to review the changes in the DHEEP program.
