HOME ENERGY, WATER, SAFETY & REPAIR SUMMIT
The Band‐Aids aren’t working!
Many agencies get them—the calls from the public for assistance with u􀆟lity
bills, for a wheelchair ramp, for repairs to a home. Lead‐based paint detec􀆟on;
safety audits for the elderly; smoke & CO2 detector installa􀆟on; and ba􀆩ery
changes are other services needed. This summit is not only about addressing
those needs, it is also about educa􀆟ng these homeowners and renters to reduce
the need for this assistance and to allow them to increase their disposable
income. Your agency or organiza􀆟on is being invited to this summit because
you have a stake in this issue. Please send a representa􀆟ve to this summit.
