NCAP - DOE WAP Legal Framework: Workforce Development and ACPU Strategies
The U.S. Department of Energy enables weatherization grantees to customize key program elements to align with their state's specific needs. Decisions regarding the allocation and use of Health and Safety funds, as well as LIHEAP transfer funds, are shaped through the state planning process, with input from weatherization subgrantees. These processes influence broader policies and procedures that directly affect Average Cost Per Unit (ACPU) strategies and Savings-to-Investment Ratio (SIR) benchmarks, ultimately impacting workforce compensation structures. Join CAPLAW staff as they explore current trends and approaches to optimizing ACPU strategies and strengthening workforce development in weatherization programs, including recruitment, hiring, and retention.
