ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Groundswell’s SOUL® (Save On Utilities Long-term) program funds home safety and efficiency upgrades that improve energy affordability and build local resilience to extreme weather. SOUL® primarily serves senior citizens and other hardworking families facing high energy costs. Groundswell leverages funding from government, utility, and philanthropic partners to help address health and safety hazards in homes and enable them to receive energy efficiency upgrades. This “stacked” funding approach enables Groundswell to reduce the “complexity tax” associated with aligning existing resources to fully meet the real needs of individual households.
