  • Program 2 [2020]

    WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM: THE HOME WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HWAP) IS A NO-COST ASSISTANCE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE ENERGY COSTS OF DWELLINGS OWNED OR OCCUPIED BY INCOME-ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS. WEATHERIZATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR CUSTOMERS RESIDING IN NINE COUNTIES IN WEST CENTRAL OHIO: AUGLAIZE, BUTLER, DARKE, GREENE, MERCER, MIAMI, MONTGOMERY, PREBLE, AND WARREN. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THEIR ENERGY EXPENDITURES AND TO IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND SAFETY. HWAP PROMOTES ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY PROVIDING SERVICES THAT INCLUDE INSULATION, DUCT SEALING, WEATHER STRIPPING, AND HEATING SYSTEMS UPGRADES. THE PROGRAM IS FEDERALLY FUNDED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS WITH AN ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. AFTER WEATHERIZATION, HOUSEHOLDS THAT HEAT WITH NATURAL GAS REDUCE SPACE HEATING CONSUMPTION BY AN AVERAGE OF 24.7%, AND ELECTRICALLY HEATED HOMES DECREASED THEIR USAGE ON AN AVERAGE OF 13%. HWAP SERVICES REDUCED THE PERCENTAGE OF THE UTILITY BILLS THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY. IN ADDITION, THE RATE OF UTILITY SERVICES DISCONNECTIONS FOR THIS GROUP WAS DECREASED BY 50%. WEATHERIZATION PROGRAMS ARE ALSO FUNDED BY CENTERPOINT ENERGY (FKA VECTREN) AND AES OHIO (FKA DP&L). HOUSEHOLDS WEATHERIZED IN 2020: HWAP GRANT: 176, VECTREN - 144, DP&L - 222, FOR A TOTAL OF 542. THE DECREASE IN HOUSEHOLDS SERVED FROM PRIOR YEARS IS DUE TO THE MANDATORY COVID 19 SHUTDOWN IN THE LATE SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER OF 2020, AND THE SUBSEQUENT CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
