Environmental Justice
NJ EJ LawNJ's landmark Environmental Justice Law is driving new incentives for multifamily buildings.
NJ's landmark Environmental Justice Law requires the DEP to evaluate environmental and public health impacts of certain facilities on overburdened communities (OBCs). This has led to increased incentives for energy-efficient building upgrades in qualifying areas.
Multifamily properties located in or adjacent overburdened communities may qualify for enhanced grant levels and priority program access under the Direct Install Program.
Check whether your property falls within a designated overburdened community using the NJ DEP interactive map.
Who Qualifies
Is your multifamily property eligible?
The Direct Install Program is available to multifamily residential buildings served by participating NJ utilities. Eligible properties include affordable housing complexes, co-ops, condominiums, and market-rate apartment buildings with qualifying energy demand.

Don't Wait For It To Break
Turn a future emergency into a funded upgrade.
When aging equipment fails, you're forced into an expensive emergency replacement with no time to plan and no funding in place. The Direct Install program lets you replace that equipment now — while grant funding is available and on your schedule, not the equipment's.
Every year you wait, you're paying higher energy bills on inefficient equipment and risking an unplanned shutdown that costs your building far more than the upgrade.
