Weatherizing Volunteers

This article discusses a recent energy audit in Rapid City, South Dakota, which has caused many homes to need several new items and repairs. It reminded me of one of our readings that stated the importance of differentiating between problem properties and properties that just need assistance. It talked about how a group of volunteers, called NeighborWorks, are helping people weatherize their homes for the winter, which not only helps the resident feel more comfortable, but also saves them money. The group is a great tool for educating homeowners, and assisting those who are struggling physically or financially, such as the elderly and low-income families.
