On this site, you can expect to find money! Well, the money we’re giving you has some strings attached because it’s funding to enable you – as homeowners – to create greener environments.
Did you know that Uncle Sam, California and even Oakland provide tax credits? We’ll let you know how. Also our local utilities, especially PG&E, will help you save greenbacks by giving some greenbacks too.
Remember to check out the blog for specifics, including links to get you going.

Oakland will soon participate in what’s lovingly known as the “CaliforniaFIRST” program. This financing opportunity enables homeowners to borrow money for their home improvements now, and pay it back through property taxes over the next decade or two.
