Washington State Department of Commerce Washington State Weatherization Pilot Project NASCSP Mid-Winter Conference February 2010
ARRA Funding Unit Production • Challenge: Meet production targets after legitimate delays to meet DOE plan and Governor expectations • Solution: Start a six-month pilot project to directly target weatherization work for units within the state’s Housing Trust Fund portfolio. • Projects are direct service to supplement the work performed by the Community Action Network to make sure goals and targets are met.
ARRA Funding and Pilot Project: Recipe for Success • The Process • Employee reassignments • Vendors procured • Identify properties targeted • Check with CAPs • Perform audit with vendor • Measures: CFLs, low-flow aerators and showerheads, insulation, air sealing, venting
Results and next steps • Washington State on track to meet or exceed ARRA production expectations. • 2,400 units will be weatherized by the end of March 2010. • Transition out of direct service by July • Meet with CAP directors in two weeks • Objective: Establish CAP driven rapid response mechanism
