D34. Please <br />describe the target <br />population to benefit <br />from the project. (200 <br />word limit) <br />Staff plan to target outreach to lower-income and underserved <br />communities, as well as renters. <br />D35a. How many <br />people will benefit <br />from your project in <br />one year? (This is <br />the same number <br />from row 8 in the <br />D16 table above) <br />611 <br />D35b. Please <br />describe how you <br />arrived at this <br />number. (200 word <br />limit) <br />Staff expect the program to directly benefit 246 households. Staff <br />estimated this number by estimating that each energy audit kit would be <br />checked out ten times annually - used by 30 households to find information <br />related to their home’s energy use. In addition, we expect the 10 members <br />of the training cohort to personally work with 10 households in their <br />neighborhoods. W e will also ask each cohort member to host one <br />workshop, and hope that these 10 workshops would reach at least 10 <br />additional households each. The energy audits will benefit 25 households. <br />W ith a total of 255 households with an average of 2.24 people per <br />household, this project will reach approximately 571 people. In addition, the <br />10 cohort members and 30 college students will receive training from the <br />Town, bringing the total amount of people benefitting from the project to <br />611. <br />D36. Please <br />describe how you will <br />engage with and/or <br />educate project <br />participants and/or <br />the community. (250 <br />word limit) <br />Staff will engage with underserved and low-income populations before the <br />program’s launch by utilizing multiple methods of communication, including <br />digital (online postings, emails), paper (flyers, mailings), and by reaching <br />out to local community organizations. The Town’s Communications <br />Department holds Carrboro In Motion events throughout the year at <br />multifamily housing, and staff will utilize these events for outreach. The <br />Town has also installed Town Information Centers (TICs) throughout Town <br />in underserved communities and staff will utilize these to post program <br />information as well. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: B7F69C66-F314-4506-B393-F26F9CEC96B0
