[StBernard] Energy assistance offered to low income households

To offer weatherization program to assist low-income households

 

St. Bernard Department of Housing and Redevelopment in partnership with
LACAP is offering a weatherization program to assist low-income households
with their cooling or heating bills by providing home energy and efficiency
services. 

 

After a household is determined to be eligible, a certified Louisiana
Weatherization Auditor completes an inspection of the home for energy,
health and safety concerns. Work will be done by local licensed and insured
contractors at no cost to the occupants. Typical work includes air sealing,
attic and/or sidewall insulation, weather-stripping and/or minor repairs
associated with the weatherization work. All work receives a thorough
Quality Control Inspection by the agency's Energy Auditor. 

 

Due to limited funding, priority will be awarded to households with members
who are elderly, disabled, and/or have children under the age of five.
Households with exceptionally high energy bills may also receive priority
service. The homeowners must have a certificate of occupancy issued by St.
Bernard Parish. Please call 504-278-4468.
