Resources
Our Resources section is designed to support both property owners/managers and residents of Affordable Housing with practical, easy-to-use information. Here, you’ll find guidance on utility allowances, compliance insights, and tools to help optimize operations, along with resources for residents such as residential aid programs, utility discounts, and cost-saving opportunities. We also provide direction on how to locate available assistance by geographic area, making it easier to navigate local, state, and utility-specific programs that can help reduce household expenses.
Residential Aid DiscountsResidential aid utility discounts are programs designed to reduce energy, water, and other utility costs for eligible low-income households. Below is a list of just a few utility providers that participate in these programs with links to the programs in the states where Hedgerow is currently assisting clients. If you are an owner or management company, spread the word amongst the residents at your communities! These programs can drive a new era of affordable housing—one where profitability and accessibility go hand in hand.
