Peoria weatherization program

Technical Report · Wed Jun 10 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:6270726

A review of the DOE weatherization program as it was carried out by a local agency in Peoria in a six county area of central Illinois disclosed a failure of the agency to properly weatherize houses, account for funds, or to adequately serve the outlying counties. It also points out a failure by the appropriate state agencies to properly oversee the work of the local agency. IG recommended that DOE require faulty work to be redone. Also the IG recommended that the State's practice of encouraging local agencies to seek unnecessary advances of funds be stopped; that required audits be conducted of the subgrants made to the Peoria agency; and that it be verified that the Peoria agency is providing adequate weatherization services to the outlying counties. In memoranda appended to the report, the Acting Regional Representative and the Acting Assistant Secretary, Conservation and Renawable Energy, agreed with these recommendations, and advised that corrective actions have been taken.
