Mission: To provide low income housing to residents who experience difficulty accessing resources, including but not limited to, low income residents, veterans and residents from the hiv/aids population.
Programs: Weatherization services - coastal bay properties, inc. Provides weatherization services which consist of cost-effective energy efficient measures for existing residential and multi-family housing with low income residents. Under this definition, it includes a wide variety of energy efficiency measures that encompass the building envelope, its heating and cooling systems, its electrical system and electricity-consuming appliances. The benefits of weatherization begin with reducing the energy bills of recipients for a long period of time. Some measures, such as insulating walls or roofs, for example, can provide savings for the lifetime of a house, 30 years or more. Other measures, such as making heating or cooling equipment more efficient, will provide savings for 10-15 years. On average, the value of the weatherization improvements is 2. 2 times greater than the cost. Wap serves low income families free of charge and limits the amount of money that can be spent on any single residence as determined by federal rules (the average expenditure is $6,500). As a result, only the most cost-effective measures are included in the upgrade of a particular home. This constant pressure for low-cost energy savings has become the trademark of weatherization and distinguishes it from the larger home retrofit industry.
