Did you know that NYC gives out free AC units every summer?

As we see more severe heat during the summer months due to climate change, it's vital that we recognize the significant health risks extreme heat poses for New Yorkers with certain medical conditions, as well as young children and seniors.

The federally funded program applies to residences that house an adult over 60, a child under six, or someone with a documented medical condition that will be worsened by extreme heat. The benefit covers the cost of various types of air conditioning units, including labor, installation, repairs, and removal of old products.
