About WeatherizeDC
Weatherization offers families and our city the chance to address two challenges: poverty and climate change. Families save money on their energy bills while increasing climate protection and expanding local economic opportunity. Despite the many benefits of weatherization, low interest persists due to lack of information and trust.
To address these gaps, WeatherizeDC:
- Guides and supports community members in educating and motivating their friends and neighbors to invest in home energy improvements. The program channels the work opportunity that results from interest in weatherization services to local businesses committed to hiring D.C. residents from communities of poverty and high unemployment.
- Vets D.C.-based home performance businesses and monitors their performance to ensure that homeowners receive the highest quality service.
