RurAL CAP provides weatherization services to homes northern and western Alaska, Juneau and Anchorage. Weatherization is the division’s longest-standing program. The focus of weatherization is to increase the energy-efficiency, safety, comfort and life expectancy of the homes. A customized assessment is made of each home to determine what improvements will best meet these goals. Typical improvements include the caulking and sealing of windows and doors, adding insulation to walls, floors and ceilings, and improving the efficiency of heating systems. By making homes more energy-efficient, families spend less for heating, freeing up more household income for other basic necessities, expenditures which help support local economies.


In April 2011, RurAL CAP began managing the weatherization program for low and middle-income Anchorage residents, when the Municipality decided to no longer offer the program. About 500 Anchorage homes will be served each year. This more than doubles the size of RurAL CAP’s weatherization program, allowing for greater economies of scale which enhances RurAL CAP’s ability to provide high-quality weatherization services to rural Alaska and Juneau.
