The demand for services, related to adequate and safe housing continues to be high!
Currently, CAPCA’s three weatherization programs are waiting to provide assistance to 175 clients.
These programs are funded by:
- Department of Energy (DOE)
- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
- Arkansas Weatherization Program (AWP) - Funded by seven Arkansas utility companies.
CAPCA’s Weatherization Goals
- 50 homes each year with the DOE program
- 263 homes with the ARRA program over a three year period
- Use the AWP program to augment both the DOE and ARRA programs, which in turn will allow CAPCA to exceed its goal and weatherize additional homes.
What can CAPCA do to improve your home?
CAPCA provides home improvements through a team of contractors. There are up to eight teams improving homes almost every day in Cleburne, Faulkner and White. These contractors are auditing homes to determine energy efficiency and what is required to make it more comfortable and more efficient.
Once the need assessment is completed other teams are dispatched to seal, caulk and patch any area where there is air loss. Teams can remove and replace windows, doors, and inefficient refrigerators as needed. Water heaters and furnaces/space heaters may be replaced for reasons of health and safety. If required then the following licensed contractors are available for
- Plumbing
- Heat and Air Conditioning
- Electrical
- Insulation.
