David Lindsey Weatherization Program Director
Central Kentucky Community Action’s Weatherization Program ended the year fully staffed and look forward to what the new year will bring. CKCAC’s weatherization program has experienced some set backs to start out the new year with our QCI staff being out with illness and injury. We have utilized this time to achieve new required trainings for staff as well as assisted other programs such as head start with moving into their new buildings. As of June 30, 2021 CKCAC has 42 clients on the waiting list to receive Weatherization services as of July 1st 2021 to start the new year. The Weatherization Program is fully staffed with an in-house crew and are still utilizing contractors to perform HVAC and Electrical work that we have to 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.
