The Residential Energy Efficiency Program (REEP) provides income-qualified Houstonians the opportunity to receive weatherization measures in their homes at no charge.
The City of Houston has the ability to offer REEP through a $23 million grant from the Department of Energy. REEP is designed to reduce energy consumption for Houstonians by installing energy efficiency upgrades; such as, weather-stripping, caulking, wall and attic insulation, air conditioners, refrigerators, solar screens and more. The efficiency upgrades are based on an assessment of what the home needs to make it more energy efficient. All of this is done at no cost to homeowners. If you rent your home, you may also apply with the consent of your landlord. We expect to weatherize approximately 10,000 homes by the end of 2011.
Oak Forest had applications in the hallway (and I will try to get more) but we are currently out of them. You can access the applications (and print them for customers) at http://www.houstontx.gov/reep/applications.html then click on English or Spanish and print the form. It is 6 pages long.
