people.
The project was developed with extensive neighborhood
and neighborhood business involvement and has the
endorsement of the Eliot Neighborhood Association.
Portland Community Design has committed to sharing
ownership of the project with other community based
organization so that the project will help generate community
wealth.
Plan Ahead For Savings And Comfort
Like the fabled ant which read­
ied itself for winter while his com­
panions played, planning ahead for
the cold and wet season, even in the
middle of summer, can have big pay­
offs.
T h e C o m m u n ity E n e rg y
project in Portland offers free
weatherization for seniors and
disabled citizens on low incomes.
Trained volunteers install ener-
gy-saving materials such as v i­
n yl
storm
w in d o w s,
w e a th e rstrip p in g fo r d o o rs,
caulk, water heater blankets and
water pipe wraps. A ll labor and
materials are free.
“ We get flooded with re­
quests in the fa ll,” says Maggie
Lang, project coordinator, "and
we sim ply can't get all the homes
weatherized before the cold sea-
son hits. So summer is a good
time for people to give us a call.
We have lots o f volunteers right
now.”
Plugging up the air leaks that
make a home cold and drafty w ill
translate into greatercomfort and
lower heating b ills next winter
when the cold weather arrivers.
Qualifying persons must be se­
niors or disabled on low incomes
