Weatherization

Our Weatherization Assistance Program was created to decrease energy needs for low-income households. Weatherization is a critical move to help off-set rising utility costs. It also provides a safer, healthier and more eco-friendly home.

​

SMCAA utilizes state and federal grants and funds to provide these programs to low-income households at NO COST to the homeowner.
