The Capital Area Community Action Agency has a program to help low income residents in our area lower their power bills.
The Weatherization Assistance Program provides free repairs and updates to eligible, low-income homeowners in the Capital Area.
The program hires local contractors to service homes whose owners are within 200 percent of the poverty guideline.
Some of the services provided are weather stripping, caulking and other energy efficiency updates.
The focus is on energy conservation and saving low-income residents money on utility costs, with the help of local contractors.
One Lanark Beach homeowner received a new refrigerator and sun blocking screens on her windows after applying for the upgrades.
Residents who are interested in the program should visit the Capital Area Community Action Agency and have their Social Security card, driver’s license, Proof of Ownership, current utility bill and proof of income with them to fill out their application and quickly find out if they are eligible.
Renters with a Permission to Enter form completed by the property owner are also eligible.
For more information, contact the Capital Area Community Action Agency’s office at 850.222.2043.
