Chicago Bungalow Association is 20 Years Old!

|
|
The Chicago Bungalow Association is celebrating its 20th year in 2020.
Founded in 2000, CBA has spent the past two decades advocating for the importance of our city’s affordable vintage housing stock, and equipping homeowners with resources to help them maintain, preserve, and adapt their Chicago bungalows and vintage homes.
To show appreciation for the 20,000+ dedicated homeowners who have joined as members of CBA in 20 years, we are posting one blog each month in 2020 listing 20 things of interest to bungalow and vintage home owners. #

A Conversation About Solar
|
|
Are you interested in lowering your electricity bills through solar energy? Join us to learn the basics of solar energy for homeowners, and the Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) program. ILSFA is a low-income solar incentive program which offers eligible participants the benefits of solar energy with no upfront costs, electricity savings, and consumer protections. Several Approved Vendors of ILSFA (you can think of them as the “general contractors” of solar) will join us to answer your questions about their offerings.
