Project Name:Supplemental Weatherization <br />Homeowners <br />for Low-lncome Orange County <br />7.Please briefly describe the <br />proposed project and the target <br />population to benefit from the <br />program. How many people will <br />benefit? (100-300 words) <br />RTT proposes expanding the provision of supplemental weatherization <br />services to Orange County homeowners below 80% of Area Median <br />Income. This is an expansion of the prograrn that was operated through the <br />County Housing and Community Development Depaftment since 2020. <br />Those funds are nearly depleted, and there remains a substantial need for <br />additional services. Homeowners have been identified through the work of <br />the Orange County Home Preservation Collaborative and are waiting for <br />assistance. Eligible projects would include: (1) weatherization ser.vices for <br />owners that are not eligible for the state weatherization program, (2) <br />repairs to building systerxs or the building envelope that are preventing the <br />state program frorr serving an otherwise-eligible client, and/or (3) <br />enhanced weatherization and electrification measures that go beyond what <br />existing weatherization pl'ograms will support, such as window repairs, <br />heat pump water heaters, fuel switching fi'orn propane and natural gas <br />furnaces to heat pumps, and replacement of gas cookstoves with electric <br />induction models. The provision of these repairs will help ensure both that <br />existing soul'ces offunding are leveraged to the greatest extent possible <br />and at least 30 additional owners are suppofted with substantial energy <br />efficiency and beneficial electrification improvements that address the <br />County's climate and equity goals. <br />8.
