CARE, FERA
& MEDICAL BASELINE PROGRAMS
At Santa Barbara Clean Energy, we want everyone to be involved in making a difference no matter what your income level. If your household has limited income or someone in your home has special medical needs, you may qualify for more affordable energy under either the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE), the federal Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program, or by receiving medical baseline allowance. Families who qualify for public assistance programs such as Medi-Cal, SNAP, WIC, or SSI will likely qualify for CARE, FERA, or medical baseline programs.
