Recovery Act Weatherization Plan Hearing Scheduled for Thursday April 2 in Salem.

Oregon Housing and Community Services is holding a public hearing on their proposed Recovery Act Weatherization Assistance Program State Plan for 2009-12.

The notice of the hearing is HERE.


The DRAFT Oregon plan is HERE.
(PDF page 6 of the plan shows a budget of $38.5 Million; page 39 in the PDF contains eligibility information related to multifamily weatherization).

A separate DOE Recovery Act press release HERE indicates that there is an additional $42.2 million being made available to Oregon for the "State Energy Program" for a total of $80.7 million for Oregon.

The DOE press release for Oregon goes on to say:
" The Weatherization Assistance Program will allow an average investment of up to $6,500 per home in energy efficiency upgrades and will be available for families making up to 200% of the federal poverty level – or about $44,000 a year for a family of four.

The State Energy Program funding will be available for rebates to consumers for home energy audits or other energy saving improvements; development of renewable energy projects for clean electricity generation and alternative fuels; promotion of Energy Star products; efficiency upgrades for state and local government buildings; and other innovative state efforts to help save families money on their energy bill
