The Downriver Community Conference

Description

DCC's Weatherization Program continues to offer the highest level of help to low-income individuals and families to meet their energy conservation needs. In particular, the program provides assistance through energy saving education, sidewall, and attic insulation installation, as well as other energy saving methods.

Currently, the DCC has been able to extend its services to include roof and furnace replacements through grants from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and DTE. The DCC's inspectors and contractors are highly trained in complete home energy inspections, including inspections for health and safety issues, such as testing furnaces for carbon monoxide and gas leaks. Also, an important part of the inspection process has been "blower door" testing, which helps identify which energy saving measures should be employed.

For more than 20 years, the Downriver Community Conference's Weatherization Program has been one of the most successful community outreach services in the region.

Since 1980, the program has serviced more than 7,500 homes - and helped the people who live in them. And for the program year; more than 150 homes were weatherized throughout the Downriver area.

In this new century, the DCC Weatherization Program continues to be an excellent benefit to area residents, providing real energy conservation solutions - while providing much-needed protection from the elements and substantially reduced energy costs to those who live in these homes.
