Do you know someone who needs a new air conditioner but is unable to afford one?

The Bed-Stuy Patch is announcing that free air conditioners are now being made available through a program for Brooklyn’s seniors, the sick, as well as low-income residents.

The Sunset Park Redevelopment Committee, along with the Community Environmental Center are sponsoring “a free, emergency cooling program” for elderly, poor and disabled Brooklynites throughout the borough.

From [Bed-Stuy Patch](http://bed-stuy.patch.com/articles/free-air-conditioners-for-the-low-income-sick-and-elderly?ref=bklyner.com):

> *If you have a medical condition that puts you at risk in a heat wave, you can receive a free, energy efficient air conditioner installed at no charge.*

> *The program begins now until September 2011, or until funds are exhausted*

> *Submission guidelines include either documentation that provides proof of medical need for a cooling system; proof of income to determine financial need, proof of HEAP/PA/SSI/ or proof of being a foodstamp recipient; and landlord authorization. Also, you cannot already own another working air conditioner in the home.*

> *The cooling system program package also includes an Empower Application for a free refrigerator. If funds are available, you will be contacted.*
