The Siletz Tribal Housing Depart
ment worked with American Indian
Weatherization Works for more than a
year and the project had its final inspec
tion Nov. 10, 2004.
Attics were insulated and bath fans
were replaced with crank timers. Thirty-

lower units had heat recovery ventila

than $33,395. American Indian Weath
erization Works paid the total amount.
I have had reports back from ten
ants and they said that their electric bills
had gone down 50 percent and the mold
issue is resolved!
Many thanks to American Indian

our tribal members stay warm and
breath cleaner air.
