HCR Exceeds Goals, Weatherizes More Than 70,000 Homes with ARRA Funds

New York, NY – August 24, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — In 2009, the United States Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), providing $5 billion nationally for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), and HCR received approximately $396 million. Our WAP sub-grantees put this funding to work-making more than 70,000 homes of low-income people safe, affordable, and energy efficient-far exceeding our original goal of 45,000 housing units.
