St. Clair County homes could qualify for no-cost energy upgrades

Blue Water Community Action is accepting applications from St. Clair County and Flint residents for a program that could provide qualifying households with no-cost improvements aimed at making homes more energy efficient. The Weatherization Assistance Program can help eligible households reduce energy waste, improve home comfort and lower heating and cooling costs, according to a community announcement. Available services may include attic, wall or crawlspace insulation, air sealing to reduce drafts, heating system evaluations and eligible improvements, ventilation work and home safety improvements. Both homeowners and renters may qualify. Landlord authorization is required for rental properties. The program is not intended for emergency home repairs. Services depend on eligibility, available funding, a home assessment and scheduling.
