- Upgrading to more efficient appliances can save money and increase tenant safety.
Multifamily Program: Measure Requirements
- All multifamily properties must have at least 5 contiguous units.
- All properties participating in the Multifamily Program must work with SMUD’s Tenant Engagement team, but only qualifying properties may include the low-income incentive.
