St. Bernard Department of Housing and Redevelopment and LACAP
weatherization program information on January 28 

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. Staff will be at the Community Center
of St Bernard, 1107 LeBeau St, Arabi  on Thursday, January 28 from 10
AM until 11 AM to assist families with this program. 

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 for
more information.
