The weatherization program is fully staffed and has 51 clients on the waiting list for weatherization services to start the 2022/23 fiscal year. The Weatherization Program as of July 1, 2022 is providing weatherization services to our 8-county area with 2 jobs completed, 9 walkaways, 1 cancelation, and 9 jobs in-progress. The Weatherization Program is fully staffed with an in-house crew, and we are utilizing contractors to perform HVAC and Electrical work that we must perform to the dwellings receiving services. We look forward to the future of the new contract year of CKCAC’s Weatherization Program to progress and better serve our 8-county service area.

Our goal with Weatherization is to continue to reduce energy waste and ensure the health and safety of each client we serve through testing consisting of; aliening air and thermal boundaries, pressure diagnostics, heating system diagnostics, indoor air quality, and base load energy consumption diagnostics.

Central Kentucky Community Action Council’s Weatherization Program (WX) is fully staffed with a highly trained supporting and technical staff consisting of: Dwelling Needs Evaluator EA/QCI Denny Baxter, Crew Leader Josh Mattingly, Retrofit Installer Mike Burden, and supporting staff Weatherization Manager Barbara Garrett. We would like to say a huge thank you to all WX staff for their dedication for improving the quality of work and the dedication to ensure the health and safety of all the clients we serve.

Central Kentucky Community Action Council has leveraged funds from utilities to expand the reach of the Weatherization Assistance Program. This year we are leveraging funding from DOE, LIHEAP, East Kentucky Power, Big Rivers Electric, Kentucky Utilities, and Louisville Gas& Electric.
