EXPANDED WEATHERIZATION AND ENERGY EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
For the past thirty years, the Oakland Livingston Human Service
Agency (OLHSA) has carried out a wide array of programs to increase
the self-sufficiency of low income households in Oakland and
Livingston Counties. Among the programs provided are senior
nutrition, health care, job training, energy and housing services,
and pre-school education. For the past nineteen years, OLHSA has
carried out energy and housing services such as heating assistance
payments and weatherization. These services have made OLHSA aware
of the fact that as energy prices t rise, and state and federal
resources dwindle, additional local resources are needed to assure
long term energy self-sufficiency. OLHSA is requesting $50,000 to
continue community-based Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
energy conservation services that complement OLHSA'sweatherization
services funded by the Department of Energy (DOE).
PROBLEM
According to 1990 U.S Census data, 89 percent or 366,288 of the
410,488 housing units in Oakland County use natural gas for home
heating. The cost of gas heating has risen from $2.35/MCF to
$4.82/MCF between 1978 and 1993, and despite recent price
reductions, is still anticipated to increase in the next ten years
to $10.00, according to state and utility forecasts. Since the
average household receiving heating assistance payments from OLHSA
consumes 227/MCF per year, annual heating costs for these household
could be over $2270 annually by the year 2000. This would severely
reduce the future income of the 64,718 Oakland County residents
classified as poor by the 1990 Census. Frequently living in poorly
insulated, older, or substandard housing, these individuals find it
increasingly difficult to heat their homes or apartments during
winter months. According to 1990 Census data, Oakland County has
43,649 housing units that were built prior to 1939 and over 16,000
units have inadequate heating systems.
The factors described indicate that poverty and energy-inefficient
housing characteristics are problems affecting the majority of the
50 communities served by Oakland County's CDBG.
BACKGROUND
Based upon past and current energy related program activities,
OLHSA can assure the effective and efficient delivery of CDBG
funded energy conservation services. Since 1975, OLHSA has
weatherized just under 7,000 homes. The agency's ability to
perform on the basis of production levels and quality of services
has steadily improved. In the past contract year, 474 homes were
weatherized through DOE weatherization funds. Oakland County CDBG
funds have allowed OLHSA to carry out additional energy
2
conservation education and conservation repair/ materials
installation programs designed to further increase the fuel savings
brought about by OLHSA weatherization services.
By the end of the current 1993/94 CDBG grant, June 30, 1994, OLHSA
expects to have conductd at least 39 energy education workshops
attended by approximately 360 persons. These workshops will
consist of:
1) Thirteen (13) "Group Instructional" workshops where general
energy conservation techniques and applications are discussed at
Head Start Parent Meetings and Senior Center Lunch Programs, etc.;
2) Twenty-six (26) "Home Invitational" workshops which provide
hands-on weatherization materials, irfstallation and instructions in
participants homes.
Also, OLHSA has used County CDBG funds to install energy
conservation materials and to make energy conserving repairs beyond
the allowable expenses under DOE regulations. To date, energy
conservation services have been applied to 47 homes occupied by 180
low income persons. Repairs/materials include mobile home repairs
and skirting, ceiling and wall repairs, set-back thermostat
installation, storm doors, storm windows, etc.
PROPOSED PROGRAM
OLHSA intends to deliver services similar to those carried out with
previous county CDBG funds. The following is a brief overview of
the services which will be carried out this program year. The
program will be administered by the Housing and Energy Department
of the Community Development Division.
Housing and Energy Program Coordinator's Workshop Goals:
(1) Utilizing HUD Low/Mod and Low income guidelines (Attachment A)
OLHSA will conduct at least thirteen (13) "group instruc-
tional" workshops (with 20 to 60 eligible persons
participating). The workshops will benefit persons through a
general introductory lesson in low cost conservation
practices, (i.e., caulking, appliance use, household habits,
etc.) practices, as well as referrals to utility audit and
shut-off protection programs, OLHSA Weatherization and Heating
Assistance Payment Programs, and how to apply for CDBG home
conservation/rehab loans offered through Oakland County's CDBG
program. Press releases, outreach by OLHSA Field Services
staff, and targeted leaf-letting will be used to secure
sufficient workshop participation. Persons attending the
"group instructional" workshop will be asked about their
interest in attending and/or hosting a follow-up
"invitational" workshop. •
3
4 4
(2) OLHSA will assure the delivery of at least twenty-six (26)
"invitational" workshops that show persons the locations of
energy problems in an actual home setting, and simple ways of
reducing these problems. Workshops will be conducted in homes
owned or rented by qualified low/mod and low income
individuals. Each two hour workshop will provide eight to ten
persons with hands-on instruction in low cost weatherization
materials installation, seasonal conservation measures, no
cost maintenance practices, and behavioral habits which
conserve energy. Workshop participants will receive a
materials kit containing: one (1) hot water heater tank
blanket, weatherstripping, two (2) door sweeps, a faucet-flow
restrictor, and a variety of other energy savings items
(Attachment C).
Project Warmth Weatherization Goals:
(3) OLHSA will identify a minimum of 50 DOE (Attachment B) income
eligible households to receive energy conserving home repairs.
Repairs will include, but not be limited to, mobile home
repairs (doors, skirting, etc.), minor home repairs to roofs,
walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors, etc. Households
in need of more extensive home repairs will be referred to the
CDBG loan program in their community.
(4) OLHSA will complement the minor home repair work with the
installation of energy conservation items that increase energy
efficiency on the same homes. The items will include, but not
be limited to , set-back thermostats, storm doors, storm
windows, hot water heater jackets, and band joist insulation
(Attachment C).
(5) OLHSA will prepare a report that summarizes the progress, and
results, of the services which were provided. The report will
be distributed to local and county officials, representing the
communities participating in the 1993-94 Oakland County CDBG
Program.
(6) OLHSA's Energy Advisory Task Force (EATF), the citizen's
policy advisory council, will review the progress of the
program a minimum of six (6) times per year.

BUDGET
The following is a general breakdown of the energy education and
home repair/expanded weatherization budget.
Home Repair

Administration $ 5,000 $ 4,000 $ 9,000
Labor 3,143 13,500 16,643

Totals $19,750 $30,250 $50,000
CONCLUSION
OLHSA will continue to effectively deliver CDBG energy education
and conservation services to low income residents of eligible
communities in Oakland County. By linking this program to the
Department of Energy Weatherization assistance program, these
clients will receive the maximum benefit of energy cost saving
services.
The conservation repairs/materials installation purchased by CDPG
funds have increased the energy efficiency of the homes served. A
two year evaluation of the Weatherization program in Michigan
conducted by the Michigan Department of Commerce, Energy Admini-
stration, (released in May, 1986), revealed that comprehensive
weatherization services provide energy savings levels from 15 to 28
percent annually.
The energy education program has proven in the past to be an
effective approach to achieving energy savings for a sizable number
of households at a low cost to the county. Studies completed by
DOE and Ann Arbor's Ecology Center have shown that low cost/no cost
conservation measures can reduce energy usage by up to 15 percent.
Additional savings will be possible for those households that
follow-up with referrals to conservation services offered by
OLHSA's Weatherization Program, County CDBG loan program, and
public utilities programs.

5
It is OLHSA's experience that workshops are well received and are
a positive learning experience for the low income households.
Feedback from past workshop participants, for example, indicate
that workshop techniques have been put to use by the vast majority
of those attending. In addition, our findings indicate the one-on-
one instruction offered at the "invitational" workshops is the most
successful aspect of the energy education component.
The 1993/94 program will continue to hire low income clients and
train them in the presentation of home workshops. This has been
very helpful in reaching more homes as well as providing additional
income to these clients. The trainings, as well as the group
instructional workshops, will continue to begin taking place during
the fall. OLHSA's past experience has shown that the workshops are
in greatest demand during the fall and winter seasons.
The Oakland County CDBG Energy program operated by OLHSA generates
present and future economic cost savings. The energy education
workshops empower low income residents to realize energy cost
savings on a continual basis. In addition, ongoing energy savings
returns money into the local economy which will contribute to long
term economic growth.
