Stimulus Money for Weatherization

Many of us have been hearing about the Federal Stimulus money and wondering how it will affect the average homeowner. Well, here's some good news for you. There is federal money available to assist homeowners with weatherizing their homes. What is weatherization? This includes items like providing insulation, installing moisture barriers, caulking around windows and doors, and other items. The idea is that once this has been done, your energy (power and gas) bills will go down saving you money. So, how do you see if you qualify? Simple. Place one call to the Greensboro office of Regional Consolidated Services (RCS) and they will ask you a few simple questions and then send you out an application packet. I've got to tell you that the lady I spoke to there was very, very nice and helpful. RCS is the agency that is managing the federal stimulus dollars for weatherization here locally.

You can reach their Greensboro office by calling (336) 279-8184.
