Housing
is an essential need for every individual, but often there is a gap
between finding and maintaining safe, decent housing and being able
to afford it. Community Action Development Corporation has been
involved in this program since 1972 and can help bridge that gap with
our housing and weatherization programs. The Weatherization Program is designed to reduce the energy costs for income eligible families by improving the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring their health and safety. Blown insulation, entry doors, windows, safe energy efficient heaters and even refrigerators are some of the items that can be installed under this program.
The Weatherization Program has also established a fee-for-service program. The staff is trained in the latest energy saving techniques and will provide recommendations for improvements that can be made by the homeowner or request an estimate from our qualified technicians. This program allows staff to perform various services, such as energy audits and insulation, for clients who are not within the income guidelines for the Weatherization Program.
The
Grand Apartments (formerly the historic Hotel Frederick) were
renovated in January 2000 to provide affordable housing to income
eligible senior citizens. The Grand has 29 one bedroom apartments,
four of which are 100% ADA accessible and 5 very economical
efficiency apartments. The Grand is equipped with a new elevator, a
state of the art safety/security alarm system, laundry facilities,
exercise room, and on-site manager.
