Weatherization Day was conceived as a means to focus local, state, and national attention on the Program and the work being performed by dedicated members of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) network. Capitalizing on the Department of Energy’s (DOE) declaration of October as Energy Awareness Month, Weatherization Programs across the country band together to make a strategic push to raise the public’s awareness of the work we do every day.
“It is vitally important to maintain a high level of funding for the federal Weatherization Assistance Program,” Richard Cherry, CEC’s president said. “Unfortunately, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution cuts federal funding for weatherization to way below pre-Stimulus levels. How can we help families who cannot afford energy efficiency home improvements on their own? How can we help them save money and live healthily? Weatherization Assistance is a great American program – it helps Americans live safely, creates American jobs and puts money back into the American economy. It should be as strong as possible.”
Those planning to attend include representatives of Brooklyn weatherization agencies Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, Opportunity Development Association, and Sunset Park Redevelopment.
