Cooling Portland Portable Cooling Units

Cooling Portland is a Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEP) climate resilience program designed to provide efficient portable cooling units to low-income Portlanders with vulnerabilities. 

Please understand that there is a waitlist to receive a unit and eligible applicants will be prioritized based on the following risk factors: over 60 years of age, have medical conditions that increase risk of heat-related illness and are living alone. 

Portlanders can apply by calling 3-1-1 or by filling out a form online. The service can also connect applicants with utility programs to help them lower electricity, gas and water bills.
