Homes are insulated, repairs conducted, and inefficient or dangerous heating/cooling units are fixed or new ones installed. Homes that would normally be deferred had deferal repairs conducted and homes weatherized. 32 dwelings were completed for weatherization in 2024-2025 fiscal year, almost tripling the number of homes completed the prior fiscal year. Twenty homes required deferal repairs in addition to weatherization.
