Economic Development Weatherization VISTA -San Antonio
 
 
 
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Please feel free to reach out directly to the program contact listed. This project will focus on the counties of the Alamo Economic Development District (EDD). The VISTA will have the opportunity to focus on the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) applicants identified as “ineligible” or “disqualified” for WAP funds throughout the Alamo EDD. The VISTA will research programs and agencies that can assist these identified applicants with making the basic repairs in order to qualify for WAP assistance, and then, route the applicants back to WAP. This will help area communities improve their housing stock and be more attractive to businesses looking to expand or establish operations in these areas. The overall goal is to build capacity in rural, economically distressed communities to alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, and provide a better quality of life. This project is sponsored by the Austin Regional Office (AURO) of the Economic Development Administration (EDA), and will be directly supervised by the Alamo EDD in San Antonio. The overall EDA Mission is "to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting innovation and competiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy."
