COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL OF LEWIS

Energy- energy services strive to lessen the financial impact of colder months, using energy assistance to help everyone have a warmer, more comfortable home and address the heat of the warmer providing access to cooling services. We distributed $5,772,566 to help residents cover their gas, electricity, oil, wood or propane bills, and supported the distribution of 120 ac units to low-income community members.

Weatherization weatherization focuses on making homes more energy efficient, comfortable, and safe by installing insulation and air sealing measures. Reducing clients' energy and budget burdens, allowing them to become more self-sufficient. This program also addresses health and safety concerns like indoor air quality and fire hazards and helps retain affordable housing stock in the community. This past year we improved the health and safety of 97 homes. Funding for this program comes from federal, state, and private partnerships.

I&r fosters collaboration both within our organization and with community partners, creating a network of support.
