DeWitt County Non-Profit Hoping For Private Funder For Season Program

Keeping homes warm and efficient can be a challenge for some with a modest income and a local non-profit does what it can to boost area families in those efforts.
 
But in 2018, a partnership could be in the works to expand the program known as the weatherization program through Community Action. Their Executive Director, Alison Rumler-Gomez says she cannot reveal the potential investor but they're excited about an opportunity that could be coming in 2018.
 
 
Funding for the weatherization program does not match the need they see at Community Action. Rumler-Gomez explains its about making their clients homes more efficient through simple, but sometimes costly upgrades.
 
 
Spending on a given project can reach upwards of $15-thousand and that can limit the amount of projects Community Action can fund. Rumler-Gomez indicates it's all about giving their clients more flexibility in their budgets to better themselves.
 
 
Rumler-Gomez hopes to have an announcement on the private-funder for the weatherization program early this year. She also encourages anyone interested in taking advantage of the program to get on their waiting list by calling their Lincoln corporate office at 217-732-2159.
