MONTGOMERY, Ala. — New grants totaling $8.5 million will assist low-income and elderly Alabama residents with weatherizing their homes to lower energy costs.
The Alabama’s Weatherization Assistance Program mission is to "reduce energy costs for low-income households, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities and families with children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety."
“In the midst of the hot Alabama summer months, elderly, disabled and low-income residents on fixed incomes often struggle to pay their utility bills to keep cool and comfortable,” Gov. Ivey said. “These grants will assist in making home improvements that will lower the energy bills for those who qualify for assistance.”
Gov. Ivey awarded the grants to 13 community agencies across the state.
