The Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency seeks eligible households for a Weatherization Assistance Program that provides an energy audit and diagnostic testing to determine air infiltration, heat loss and levels of carbon monoxide, and identifies recommended energy conservation, safety and health measures. Local agency staff and private contractors will then complete the work for qualified projects.
The program’s focus is on the elderly, the disabled, families with children, high energy users and the energy burdened. Weatherization assistance is available for single-family homes, apartments, condominiums and mobile homes. Applicants do not have to own their own homes, but renters must have written permission from their landlord.
