Public Housing Authorities

Public Housing Authority Incentives

Housing authorities can benefit from a variety of energy efficiency projects. From low- or no-cost improvements to large-scale projects, increasing efficiency will help cut annual energy costs and improve the comfort of your residents. Ameren Illinois can provide incentives to help your public housing authority become more efficient.

Qualifying facilities may be eligible to receive:

  • FREE Energy-Saving Products
    We’ll give you energy efficiency products for each unit, such as LEDs, showerheads, aerators, advanced power strips, and smart thermostats — plus, LED specialty light bulbs at no cost for your common areas.
  • Air Sealing and Insulation Incentives
    You can also receive financial incentives for air sealing and insulating the units, if your property meets certain requirements.
  • Incentives for Other Improvements
    You may also qualify for incentives to cover facility-wide projects — such as interior and exterior lighting upgrades, heating and cooling improvements, and more — through the Business Energy Efficiency Program.

Does Your PHA Qualify?

A qualifying PHA:

  • Has a combined unit total of 550 or less public housing units and Section 8 vouchers

More Information

Why should I participate in the Ameren Illinois Multifamily Properties incentive offering?

If you own or manage a qualified property, the Multifamily Properties offering provides incentives to help you make money-saving upgrades to your property’s individual units and common areas. You may also qualify for direct installation assistance from Ameren Illinois — making it even easier for both you and your tenants to achieve energy savings.

What does the Multifamily Properties incentive offering cost me?

In most cases, nothing.

IN-UNIT UPGRADES

Offerings for each unit include free energy-saving products such as specialty LEDs, high efficiency showerheads, faucet aerators, smart thermostats, pipe wrap, in-unit door and window weather-stripping and air sealing, and advanced power strips.

COMMON AREA UPGRADES

Property owners may also be eligible to receive financial incentives from Ameren Illinois for air sealing and insulating the units (property must meet certain requirements).

This seems too good to be true. What's the catch?

There is absolutely no catch. Ameren Illinois' Multifamily Property incentives are designed to help participating property owners and/or managers offset most or all of the cost to install energy-efficient products in their property’s individual units and common areas.

Properties who are Ameren Illinois business customers, offerings for common area and facility exterior areas may include parking lot and security lighting replacements, hallway and common area lighting and occupancy sensors as well as some kitchen, laundry, vending and other equipment incentives*.

* Properties must meet certain requirements to be eligible for common area and property lighting and equipment incentives.
