Page 3 <br />Weatherization / Housing and Home Improvement Program <br /> <br />The overall budget for this program is $174,874. Expense line items for materials, <br />supphes and equipment total $68,860. $131,161 of this budget is funded through <br />federal and state grants. We were expected to complete a combined quota of 107 <br />units of service through this program. Due to overwhelming community support we <br />have been able to complete 156 units of service or 146% of our quota. <br /> <br />This program has allowed us to provide services t~-elderly and/or disabled <br />recipients that would otherwise fall through the gaps of available services while <br />accessing new revenue sources and increasing the overall cost effectiveness of the <br />program. We have increased citizen participation, thus increasing the general <br />awareness of the needs of such clients. We have developed a network of agencies <br />that join forces in order to best serve the public. <br /> <br />The most rewarding aspect of this program, and one that cannot be measured in cost <br />savings is the fact that we have assisted in providing dozens of local clients an <br />opportunity to continue to live independently at home. This in itself is a substantial <br />tax savings compared to the cost of subsidizing long term care. <br /> <br /> <br />
