CTI Weatherization and Fuel Assistance Programs Keeps Seniors Warm

Community Teamwork’s Weatherization and Fuel Assistance programs are helping thousands of area seniors heat their homes and keep the heat in through weatherization. Sisters Marie and Dora P know the challenge many seniors face living on fixed incomes. They are grateful that they qualified for both fuel assistance and weatherization.

Saving Energy — Keeping Seniors Warm

Roger B. lost his wife last year. In addition to facing the grief of losing his life partner, Roger had to cope with a significantly reduced income. He struggled through one relatively mild winter, juggling bills the best he could but it was difficult. How would he be able to afford a truly cold winter? As uncomfortable as it was to ask for help, he reached out to Community Teamwork’s Weatherization Program. Our staff were able to complete weatherization upgrades and boiler repairs, as well as provide him with an energy efficient refrigerator and compact fluorescent light bulbs. Roger will be warm this winter and his fixed income will go further. He is also using less energy. A win all around!
