Westbay Community Action Inc

Weatherization- weatherization is designed to permanently reduce utility bills by making the homes of low-income families more energy efficient. Common measures include installing insulation, sealing ducts, tuning and repairing furnaces and water heaters, and sealingwindows, doors and other infiltration points.

Medical respite - medical respite is non-permanent acute and post-acute care for persons experiencing homelessness who are too ill or frail to recover from illness or injury on the streets but are not ill enough to be in a hospital. By providing a stable and safe place to recover and receive necessary services, medical respite promotes healing and recovery, ultimately disrupting the cycle of homelessness and reducing the need for costly, preventable, emergency intervention.

Market place - the westbay marketplace is the third largest food pantry in rhode island, serving over 2,000 clients per month. As part of the marketplace program, westbay also operates the emergency food program, which provides three days of food to clients based on household size, and the usda commodities program, which provides food staples onces per month.
