5. 10000 Home Phase I Study • From the April 30, 2009 Declaration of Intent: The goal is to provide low-cost weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades to at least 10,000 homes within the Alachua County area over the next five years. The program focus will be on weatherizinglow-income housing, alleviating poverty and enhancing social equity. Home occupants or owners will not pay for this service. Homes will be weatherized to reduce energy consumption by up to a third and will include education and awareness training for the occupant for low cost improvements. This work can be accomplished at little to no cost to the Initiative with an average cost estimated to be around $2,750 per home. 10000 Home Weatherization Intiative: July 16, 2009
