  1. We are still taking applications for Weatherization.
  2.  We are still doing proactive agreements (household pays an amount towards their energy bill, Energy Assistance makes a payment)
  3. We will do an application for households that did not apply during the normal heating season.  They will not get a regular benefit, but may be eligible for the proactive services.
