<br />P.O. Box 8181 * Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Telephone: 919 245-2626 <br />33. What percent of project <br />materials will be purchased <br />from sources within Orange <br />County or North Carolina? <br />Rebuilding Together prioritizes purchasing goods and services <br />locally. We expect that 100% of project materials will be <br />purchased from a local retailer in Orange County. <br />34. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to local economic <br />development. <br />This project strives to utilize local, minority subcontractors when <br />possible. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Criterion 6 - Amount and Duration of Engagement <br /> <br />35. Please describe how you <br />will engage with and/or <br />educate project participants. <br />The OCHPC Outreach and Education Committee, which is <br />composed of OCHPC members and recommended community <br />partners, is currently implementing a home maintenance <br />curriculum targeting our service population. Current plans include <br />hosting a monthly one-hour workshop exploring a specific home <br />maintenance topic. Workshop planning emphasizes involving <br />community members in the process. With support of Orange <br />County Government, we intend to incorporate an energy <br />conservation and climate impact topics into the workshop <br />curriculum. <br />Specific to this initiative, we will seek to educate homeowners on <br />the benefits of installing heat-pump HVAC systems. An <br />informational handout will be provided to homeowners during the <br />assessment stage of the repair process. Afterwards, a Rebuilding <br />Together staff member will meet individually with homeowners to <br />discuss the costs, benefits and climate impact associated with <br />different types of HVAC systems. <br />36. How will you measure the <br />success of that engagement or <br />educational effort? <br />We will utilize existing OCHPC evaluation methods to effectively <br />measure the quantitative and qualitative outcomes in the <br />educational efforts of this initiative. Measures include number of <br />homeowners receiving information, change in behaviors, and <br />knowledge gained. <br />37. Please describe any other <br />aspect of your project that is <br />relevant to the amount, or <br />quality, or length of <br />engagement and/or education <br />that your project will produce. <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: E86DD11C-7C3F-4DD6-97F0-CADB5D52D35A
