We partner with Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County to reduce energy consumption and promote the financial stability of homeowners through weatherization, energy conservation, and education. Furman students help track program savings and volunteer on certain projects.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure a positive and professional experience for our clients, the CCC hires experienced, certified home energy auditors to determine each home&#8217;s needs. Expert contractors then perform all necessary services and provide all clients with the most relevant information for their household. Some of our services include new or additional attic insulation, weather stripping, air-sealing, crawl space vapor barriers, safety checks on combustion appliances, and more. We estimate that by providing these and other home weatherization services, we can help our clients save up to 25% on their home energy bills.<\/p>\n<h2>Qualifications for Home Weatherization Assistance<\/h2>\n<p>In order to receive weatherization assistance, residents must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live in and own their home<\/li>\n<li>Reside in Greenville\u00a0County<\/li>\n<li>Have homeowner&#8217;s insurance<\/li>\n<li>Be a Piedmont Natural Gas customer (exceptions may apply; contact the Program Coordinator for more information)<\/li>\n<li>Have family income at\u00a0or\u00a0below the following\u00a0amounts:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Number in Household<\/th>\n<th>Annual Income<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>$54,150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>$61,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>$69,650<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>$77,350<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>$83,550<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>$89,750<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>$95,950<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>$102,150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Income amounts based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huduser.gov\/portal\/datasets\/il.html\">HUD Median Family Income<\/a> for FY2025<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Apply<\/h2>\n<p>To apply, please provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Completed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/shi-institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/182\/2026\/04\/Weatherization-Application-CCC-HFH_FINAL.pdf\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2072\">Weatherization Application <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/sustainability\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2020\/01\/Weatherization-Application-CCC-HFH_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[PDF]<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proof of\u00a0income<\/li>\n<li>Proof of homeowner&#8217;s insurance<\/li>\n<li>1 year of electric and gas bills (or a\u00a012-month summary, obtained from your utility provider)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please mail these items to the following address:<br \/>\nCommunity Conservation Corps<br \/>\nShi Institute for Sustainable Communities<br \/>\nFurman University<br \/>\n3300 Poinsett Highway<br \/>\nGreenville, SC 29613<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>Have a question about the CCC? <a href=\"mailto:ccc@furman.edu\">Contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Program Coordinator<br \/>\nJoy Baker<br \/>\nccc@furman.edu<br \/>\n864-294-3680<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Community Conservation Corps (CCC) provides free home weatherization to low-income homeowners in the greater Greenville community.
