Weatherization & Client Education Program (MPSC)

The MCAAA Weatherization & Client Education Program is funded by the MPSC and supplements CAA’s regular Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).  An energy efficient home can expect an average energy savings of $358 per home per year and an average reduction of a household’s gas consumption of 32 percent. In addition, energy efficiency reduces the burden of unemployment payments for taxpayers and local businesses. Over the past few years, the Michigan Community Action Agency Association (MCAAA) and many other human and social service providers have received funds for assistance to low-income families to help ensure that they made it through the winter heating season. MCAAA believes that by enhancing the existing statewide WAP with additional services, we can make a significant impact on the energy expenditures of low-income families and senior citizens, and ultimately have a positive impact on the economy of the State of Michigan. By providing education and/or energy-efficiency services, we can reduce the likelihood of reapplication for assistance in subsequent years.
