Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois announced today that it's accepting applications to pre-qualify contractors to perform weatherization services on at least 200 homes in Central Illinois this fall and winter.

They're specifically requesting experienced specialty HVAC, plumbing and architectural contractors. This work will include air-sealing, insulating attics and walls, repair or replace heating and cooling systems, and making incidental repairs related to the weatherization program.  The work will need to be completed during the program year which begins October 1, 2021 and ends September 30, 2022.  

There are certain specifications for contractors to qualify for these grant funds to be used to do work.  At a minimum, contractors will be required to agree to adhere to weatherization standards set forth by the state and federal funding.

Community Action and sister participating agencies will be holding a virtual informational meeting on Wednesday, September 8th, from 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.  Registration is required.
