HHS Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
August 1, 1999
The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides formula grants to states to help low-income households pay for their home energy needs, including weatherization and energy efficiency (CFDA Program Number 93. 568). It especially focuses on assisting households where a high percentage of income is spent on energy costs.

Funding Green Infrastructure in Pennsylvania: Funding the Future of Stormwater Management
undated
American Rivers produced this report describing strategies for funding and financing green infrastructure investments in Pennsylvania. The report starts by describing how stormwater and impervious areas (like rooftops, pavements, and sidewalks) contribute to degraded water quality and how green infrastructure can be used to reduce stormwater overflow flooding by restoring, reintegrating, and replicating natural landscapes.

District of Columbia's RiverSmart Program
2006
Washington D. C. ’s Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) administers a variety of "RiverSmart" programs to fund projects that reduce stormwater runoff and water pollution. The programs provide financial incentives, in the form of grants and rebates, to fund green infrastructure projects that reduce and treat stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Although the RiverSmart program was developed to help the District address water pollution from stormwater runoff, it also supports climate resilience by diverting rainwater from the city’s stormwater system to manage increasingly heavy rainfall events.
