Weatherizatioin

Urban League Weatherization Assistance Programs enable low-income families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy-efficient. The weatherization

team has highly trained and professionally certified personnel who use advanced energy audits  and sophisticated equipment to identify cost effective measures. Measures may include caulking installing insulation, furnace repair or  replacement, and window and door repairs or re-placement with the goal of reducing home energy costs, improving its comfort ensuring the health and safety of the home and improving its air quality.

A partnership with Laclede’s Red Tag Program also helped many clients with immediate furnace repairs in its inaugural year. This new partnership allowed its self-performing construction crew to heavily concentrate on the health and safety of a home’s air quality. The League’s self-performing construction crews help save St. Louis City homes from expensive bills and energy waste through construction projects with the support of the Missouri Department of Economic Development and Division of Energy. 

The Weatherization Assistance Program provides a range of free residential improvement services to reduce energy costs, increase safety, and provide an increased quality of life for St. Louis City and East St. Louis residents.
