Kansas Civic & Social Organizations Pre-Engagement Survey

Kansas Civic & Social Organizations Pre-Engagement Survey

The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) is planning to launch the Home Efficiency Rebate and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Programs, collectively called the KS Home Rebates Program. To ensure the success of these programs, KCC recognizes that collaboration and partnership with civic and social organizations, non-profits, community-based groups, and advocacy organizations in Kansas, particularly those focused on serving underserved communities is necessary. The information sessions will provide an overview of the home rebates programs and areas of potential collaboration.
