California Alternate Rates for Energy Program


Lower income residents in California can qualify for reduced electricity and natural gas charges. The California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program contains special provisions to help households in master meter parks. By February 1 of each year, managers should notify home owners about the CARE program. The notice should be posted and sent with utility bills.

Utility companies accept CARE program applications. Managers may help process applications or home owners may submit applications individually. The Residency Code requires that park managers provide home owners with all information required by utility companies. Managers must pass through the full CARE discount in monthly utility bills to home owners who qualify. The discount must be noted on the home owner’s bill.
