COVID-19 Precautions

Community Action Agency of Greater Kansas City CAAGKC is taking every necessary precaution to make sure our clients are safe during COVID-19. Upon entering your home for Weatherization services, our staff is dressed in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect you and them. After each home visit, the PPE is disposed of and replaced with new equipment for the next audit. We weatherize homes, mobile homes, and duplexes up to a five plex.

What is Weatherization?

Often people confuse weatherization with winterization. The difference between them is time. Winterization projects are short-term and aim for temporary changes that have small benefits. Weatherization, on the other hand, involves long-term and permanent improvement of your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Winterization projects only make sense if you are a short-term renter. If you plan to stay in your home or mobile home, it’s more effective to weatherize.
