Low-income families in Washington can get free air conditioning, but time is running out
“This summer could be a scorcher in Washington. Low-income families in the state have about a month left to get free air conditioning units. Thanks to federal money funneled through community organizations, people living below a certain income can get help paying for their energy bills. And this year, they can also get a voucher to buy an air-conditioning unit for their home, choosing from a few eligible models on Amazon. That’s thanks to a pandemic-era bump in federal funding.”
