Weatherization and Energy AssistanceThe Weatherization & Energy Assistance Program contributes to the economic self-sufficiency of families in poverty by providing low income families with the means to reduce their home energy cost burden. The program manages public resources that help low income people reduce their use of home energy, increase their ability to pay for home energy, and eliminate life and safety problems in the homes of low income households, which can contribute to poor health and delayed development of children. The program conducts energy audits in approximately 350 homes per year, insulates homes using a Welfare-to-Work training crew, purchases other weatherization measures for homes as needed, and provides one-time utility payments for low income households.
