HUMAN CONNECTIONS PROGRAM
Reaching out to those in need helps to strengthen our communities, assists individuals in time of need and reconnects individuals across a broad range of backgrounds. Our Human Connections program is the heart and soul of our work and in 2009 we will strive to reach out to more families in need.
The Sustainability Institute offers weatherizations for low-income homes that leak a tremendous amount of energy (e.g. conditioned air) through the building envelope. With the help of neighborhood associations, the Institute can identify homes in need of a weatherization. With our Weatherization Crew of volunteers, the S.I. Staff will install energy-efficient and water-saving fixtures into the home free-of-charge to the homeowner or resident.
This is one of our primary outreach programs and is worth every second spent outfitting these homes to be more energy efficient. Our aim is to help save residents money on their utility bills so that they have more expendable income for other life-necessities or for re-investing back into their communities.
