Community programs - provide various services such as food distribution, asset development, Community connector program, and other programs to low income families.
Energy conservation and heating assistance - this program is funded with a combination of federal and utility company funding. The program is designed to save individuals dollars by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes and apartments. The organization provides a complete technical analysis of the property and a prioritized scope of work. Qualified contractors are then given a work order to perform the permanent weatherization work to high standards. Eligible work includes insulation, weather-stripping, air sealing, and other minor repairs to save energy. In some cases, heating systems are repaired or replaced.
