But grappling with the unknown was part of the course's allure. "The very first class we didn't have a facility, we didn't know how to make biodiesel and we had very little money," Waickman says. "It was awesome." [More]

Monroe County Opportunity Program (MCOP) has provided weatherization services to southeastern Michigan residents for over 20 years, and funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 recently allowed this private non-profit to hire more staff and increase the scope of its services.

In April 2009, MCOP received $3 million in Recovery Act funds to spend over a three year period.

"We initially used the money to hire three office staffers to process weatherization applications and a full-time inspector to conduct pre- and post-inspections on houses that are approved for weatherization," says Stephanie Kasprzak, MCOP's executive director.

MCOP also hired three full-time contractors to weatherize the homes of income-eligible residents in Monroe County. [More]
