$3,285,725 spentof which $239,587 as grants31% of program spendingDuring program year 2025, weeoc's weatherization program has finalized 15 homes with 4 more homes completed but not yet finalized. The program has until september 30th to finalize those homes. The following statistics include all nineteen homes. When combining doe, doe/ready and doe/bil funding, we have spent $115,473 exhausting 28.3% of the federal doe funding received. The program has spent $141,050 of hhs funding (54.3%) and $71,056 (58.1%) of state funding. Working with the state's new iwx program, programming for a complete cycle was not in place until late november 2024 (with many help desk tickets created). We were not able to give work orders to contractors until december 2024. The funding dollars are actually representing only 6 months of the fiscal year 2025. There will be $118,809 hhs funding leftover for carryover and $51,318 state funding leftover for carryover. We will most likely not be able to spend that carryover funding as things are not working properly with the state's iwx program at this moment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $2.1M to $2.8M (+31%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
