With lead agency Claretian Associates and its partner Spanish Coalition for Housing, the City of Chicago Department of Environment has developed and launched the South Chicago Retrofit Project (SCRP). 

SCRP Pilot proceeds from three core motivations, to:

• Increase energy Efficient Retrofits in Chicago through coordinated outreach

• Co-deliver multiple services at once, and

• Develop community partnerships to drive local CCAP leadership

Claretian Associates leads this outreach effort with support from Spanish Coalition for Housing along with a community committee of more than a dozen locally-based partner organizations working as project collaborators and implementers.  They will act as a conduit for service providers to channel program information through the South Chicago Retrofit Project’s community partner network increasing residential participation. This network of trusted community-based organizations will develop messages that link energy efficiency to a range of local concerns.   For more information please contact Valentina Gamboa-Turner.
