The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation has launched a significant Weatherization Program with a total funding of $300 million. This income-based, no-cost program aims to improve energy efficiency across various regions in Alaska through weatherization services. Additionally, there are rebates available for those who do not qualify for the program but are undertaking eligible home improvements. This initiative not only focuses on immediate benefits but includes extensive training components, contributing to workforce development. The project's goal is to triple the annual number of homes weatherized from previous years.

PRESERVING QUALITY CONTROL • Review Your Policy and Procedures • Control Training –consider a training entity to coordinate • Consider Certification • Review staffing needs at state and agency level • Realize that “everybody is an weatherization expert” • Big money, big politics • Effect on the market-cost of training, cost of materials, etc. • Will you add agencies for delivery..what is that process? • Advertising and outreach-it has to allow equitable access • Field monitoring…what happens when it is not right 50 homes later? • MANAGING EXPECTATIONS from lawmakers to clients
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DOE RAMP UP • INCREASE AVERAGE COST PER UNIT • PRESERVE T AND TA • REWEATHERIZATION DATE • RAISE THE INCOME LEVELS • CONSIDER THE MEDIAN INCOME AS DETERMINED BY HUD • EXPAND AUTOMATIC QUALIFIERS • SECTION 8 HUD /202/811-50% MEDIAN AND BELOW • SUFFICIENT STAFFING AT DOE LEVEL • POSSIBLE OUTREACH AT DOE LEVEL
