COMMUNITY RESOURCES OFFERS WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE

(11/26/2008)
Community Resources, Inc. is a non-profit organization that serves 11 counties in West Virginia, offering a myriad of services to moderate to low-income families and struggling communities.

One of the services that the agency provides is weatherization assistance to the homes of individuals and families that qualify. In partnership with the United States Department of Energy, CRI's Weatherization Assistance Program is delivering energy efficiency services to low-income households. Professionally trained weatherization crews perform on-site home energy audits using state of the art equipment to identify outside drafts and inspect heating and cooling systems for efficiency.

Weatherization crews install insulation, seal off air leaks, make modifications to (or replace) existing heating systems and make minor repairs to ensure safety. Once installed, these energy saving measures will help to reduce your heating and cooling costs for years to come. For every dollar invested, there is a rate of return in energy savings of $2.72.

The Weatherization Assistance Program prioritizes to the elderly, permanently disabled, and emergency heating situations, however, the program is available to all families that meet the income guidelines.

Community Resources, Inc. also offers other services that include the distribution of smoke detectors and batteries at no cost, assistance with home repair loans, crisis intervention, employment support, and free income tax preparation. Contact your local CRI office for more information.
