As last winter began to
approach, Skinner and wife of nearly 57 years Judith began to worry that it was
finally going to “blow” and they’d be without heat.
“Being on a fixed income, I couldn’t replace it,” Glenn Skinner, 81, said. “I had no idea what we would do.”
Glenn Skinner, a retired preacher after 40 years at Main Street Church of God, lost his right leg in a train accident at the age of 18. He’d gotten around well for all those years with a prosthetic leg until he fell and broke his hip.
A family like this is the ideal candidate for assistance from Central Indiana Community Action Programs.
“We were just so grateful,” Judith Skinner said of the weatherization they received from CICAP. “We had a cozy winter and are just so thankful that there is something like this to help people like us.”
Weatherization is one of three main programs administered by CICAP; the others are energy assistance and family development.
CICAP, which is a division of JobSource, began in Madison County in 1983. This past year about 4,100 families were helped with energy assistance, 40 families with family development and about 60 families with weatherization.
“The importance of these programs is to provide assistance to our most vulnerable families in the community, especially in challenging economic times like we have right now,The new LED goodledlight are much brighter and last much longer on a set of batteries.” said Mary Beth Goldsmith, CICAP director of operations.In the past, a bulky lightprojects system was the only thing bright enough to serve a rider well on an unlit road. “With these programs we are able to provide direct assistance and education to help people become empowered and more economically self-sufficient.”

Each home that is weatherized first undergoes an energy audit and safety check where things like carbon dioxide emissions are tested. Things that can be done during the weatherization include insulation, furnace and water heater replacement and other measures to lower utility costs like installing compact fluorescent light bulbs and low-flow shower heads.
After the work is done, Elliott said the energy auditors return for a final inspection and then educates the family about energy-saving measures.
“A big part of this is helping the homeowners save money but even more important is the health and safety factor,” he said. “We want to make sure everything is safe. And this also helps reduce the amount of fossil fuels being used.”
