PWCC

RHLS was a founding member of the Philadelphia Weatherization & Conservation Collaborative (PWCC).  The PWCC is a public and private collaborative of over 25 organizations, including RHLS, the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations, various public and private owners and operators of multifamily affordable housing, local and state governmental agencies, and several utilities.

The PWCC brings together practitioners, administrators, and advocates on a quarterly basis to identify opportunities to increase weatherization and retrofit opportunity for affordable housing and in low-income communities. The PWCC’s work is currently focused on: 1) increasing energy-efficiency in affordable multifamily properties in Pennsylvania; and 2) increasing the scale of weatherization activity in affordable multifamily housing and in low-income communities.

PWCC also works with the other regional weatherization collaboratives inPennsylvania, including the Pittsburgh Energy Conservation Collaborative (“ECC”), headed by ACTION-Housing.
