  • Thanks to grants and financial support from the Wege Foundation, the Cites of Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Holland, enabled us to provide our training to local residents in making their homes more sustainable. The funding underwrites our efforts to provide housing energy assessments for persons living at or below 100% average median income in those areas which are primarily the elderly, veterans, youth, persons with special needs, and other vulnerable population groups. We are completing our 2nd year of funding from the Wege Foundation and have been approved for an increased amount for two more years. Our work in other cities also enabled us to provide services in the areas of technical training, plan review, housing assessments, energy modeling and resource identification for appliance upgrades and construction expenses with the goal of achieving a Green certification for the projects.
