The Governor's Office of Energy has
partnered with Nevada Housing Division (NHD) to provide the Home Energy
Retrofit Opportunities for Seniors (H.E.R.O.S.) program. The program assists with
reducing energy costs for Nevada seniors by improving the energy efficiency of
their home. The program is provided at no cost to income qualified seniors who

GOE created the H.E.R.O.S. program and
funds it. NHD administers the program through a network of non-profit Service
Provider agencies throughout the State of Nevada.
