HeatEquity Program Manager
A white-label SaaS toolkit for municipalities that want to launch or expand AC-subsidy and heat-relief programs — handles eligibility rules, application intake, vendor dispatch, and reporting back to council.
City staff and councillors designing senior heat-relief programs (e.g., London's Ward 11 motion)
- Configurable eligibility engine (income, disability, age, geography) that mirrors local policy
- Application portal with document upload and status tracking for residents
- Vendor dispatch and AC-unit installation scheduling
- Annual report generator that exports the data council needs to renew or expand the program
London's committee vote on July 13 and Toronto's parallel AC programs show multiple mid-size cities actively designing these pilots right now — staff need software, not just policy memos.
Multiple cities actively designing/running AC-subsidy programs: London ON Ward 11 motion (Skylar Franke) and Toronto's 2025 pilot (500 units, $200K) expanding to 1,000+ units in 2026 — real staff-side build pressure, not just policy memos.Can free AC units help seniors in extreme heat?

Toronto's $200K program budget is largely hardware ($200K/500 ≈ $400/unit); software-as-a-fee would be a small slice, and municipal procurement cycles are long with budget pressure — willingness-to-pay is real but per-deal size is modest.City of Toronto providing 500 air conditioners to support low-income seniors with extreme heat this summer ↗
Climate-driven extreme-heat events and aging senior population make heat-relief a durable, expanding municipal line item; Toronto already doubling program year-over-year signals structural, not cyclical, demand.City of Toronto brings back free air conditioner program for low-income residents ↗
Core scope (eligibility rules, intake, vendor dispatch, reporting) is standard case-management engineering, but Canadian municipal buyers require data residency, PIPEDA/Law 25 compliance, accessibility (AODA), and slow RFP processes — meaningful but not blocking friction.
