Program Overview
Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland is partnering with Montgomery County’s Department of Housing and Community Affairs (DHCA) to deliver the Efficient Electric Appliance Operations Program (EEAOP). This program helps income-qualifying homeowners in Montgomery County reduce energy costs, improve indoor air quality, and support safer, more comfortable living environments by replacing outdated or fossil-fuel-powered appliances and fuel switching with efficient electric alternatives.
What We Do
