Repair Program
What does Maryland's MEEHA program pay for in apartments?
By All Purpose Anytime Services LLC
MEEHA, the Maryland Multifamily Energy Efficiency and Housing Affordability program, pays for an energy audit of a multifamily property and for installed efficiency measures that lower what tenants pay in utilities. It is for buildings serving income qualified tenants, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development runs it with the utilities under EmPOWER Maryland.
What MEEHA pays for
- An energy audit of the property
- Installed energy efficiency measures that lower tenant utility costs
It applies to multifamily buildings serving income qualified tenants. Our notes do not list award amounts. Treat this as current as of October 2026, and let DHCD and your utility tell you whether the building qualifies.
Why it touches a turnover
Unit level efficiency work lands between tenancies, inside the turnover window. The empty days that carry our wall, paint and floor work are the same days an installer can get into the unit without a tenant to work around.
How to apply
Start with DHCD or your utility's EmPOWER Maryland program. The audit comes first, and the program decides which measures go in and who installs them.
Our part
We are not a MEEHA contractor. We do not do energy audits or install efficiency measures, and HVAC and plumbing stay with their own licensed trades.
What we can do is keep the turn from colliding with the efficiency work. Tell us when the audit crew or the installers are booked and we sequence our scope around their visit. The walkthrough is free, and the unit's price comes in writing before we start.
