About the In-Home Weatherization Program

Since 1987, CEP has organized volunteers to install energy-saving materials in more than 2,500 homes of low-income senior citizens and people with disabilities in Portland. Program participants also learn about behavioral changes that save money and energy.

What We Do

Community Energy Project's In-Home Weatherization Teams install energy-saving materials, implementing draft-stopping measures to lower heating bills, stay warm, and conserve energy. We install

  • Reusable, internally-mounted vinyl storm window kits that can roll up for the summer

  • Door weatherstripping

  • Compact florescent lights, outlet & lightswitch gaskets, caulking, and more

Working with Volunteers

With the help of volunteers, CEP is able to serve clients faster in the weatherization season, and people have a chance to meet other members of their community. We work with businesses of all sizes, schools, non-profits, churches, and more. To learn more about volunteering, please see the Volunteer page.
