CleanStart: Community Resource Fair

This Community Resource Fair is designed to provide resources for energy efficiency, assistance programs, and job training in the clean energy sector. Participants will have the chance to learn about programs to reduce energy costs, access energy-saving upgrades, and explore free job training in electrical fundamentals, HVAC basics, solar installation, and EV charger maintenance.

Highlights of the Event:

• Energy Assistance Programs: SMUD will discuss options like the Energy Assistance Program Rate (EAPR) to help reduce energy bills.

• Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Program: CRP will be onsite to share details on this program, which offers high school students a stipend, community service hours, and hands-on training.

• No-Cost Appliance Upgrades: Information on programs that provide free energy-efficient appliances to qualified households.

This event, made possible by SMUD Shine, is a great opportunity for community members to connect with resources that can make a real difference in both energy use and career paths.
