The North Texas Air Conditioning Initiative
06/01/2020
The North Texas Air Conditioning Initiative is offering FREE air conditioning units for those in need. To qualify, the individual must live in a residence located 30 miles from downtown Dallas that is able to accommodate a window unit air-conditioner. The residence cannot already have a functioning air-conditioner. The individual must demonstrate financial need. However, they need to have available resources to cover electrical costs for the operation of a window unit air conditioner. The initiative will be unable to install units in apartment complexes. In rental homes, the owner must provide permission in writing before A/C unit can be installed. The person requesting the A/C unit must call to make the request. Although not a requirement, priority should be given to individuals who are elderly, disabled, or have young children. The individual must agree to be present when the installation occurs. Several organizations are implementing this program and can be contacted for more information:
