The Washington State Department of Commerce (COMMERCE) is seeking proposals for a project focused on weatherizing multifamily buildings across Washington State. This initiative aims to increase energy efficiency and reduce the energy burden for residents in these buildings. The program aligns with a broader mission of improving community well-being and sustainability by enhancing housing quality and affordability through energy conservation. The grant is designed to expand existing weatherization services or establish new agencies dedicated to this specific purpose, addressing a critical need within the state. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are residents of multifamily buildings throughout Washington State, particularly those in traditionally hard-to-reach markets and underserved regions. The impact goal is to significantly lower energy costs for these residents while simultaneously improving the energy efficiency of their homes. This will lead to more comfortable living conditions and financial relief for households, contributing to overall community resilience. The program also aims to address health and safety remediation in these properties, further enhancing the living environment for beneficiaries. COMMERCE is prioritizing services that focus solely on increasing energy efficiency and lowering the energy burden in multifamily buildings. A key focus is on reaching underserved areas and a broader category of homes that may have been overlooked by previous initiatives. This strategic focus ensures that the grant funding will have the most significant impact where it is needed most, aligning with a theory of change that posits that targeted interventions in housing energy efficiency can lead to measurable improvements in resident welfare and environmental sustainability. The expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the number of weatherized multifamily buildings across the state, resulting in quantifiable reductions in energy consumption and associated costs for residents. The grant specifies a funding period from July 10th, 2024, to June 30th, 2027, with a total budget not to exceed $7,301,514.13.
