[yrhasc] No Island is an Island; housing updates and weatherization opportunities.

[Mlongreene2 at aol.com]

Hi All,   The Sustainable Islands Conference two weeks ago  in Rockland was 
outstanding.  Everything from wind power to home  gardening to global 
energy to of course housing.
I have attached the summary booklet on island affordable housing (No Island 
 is an Island) that gives a fine overview of what all of the islands are  
doing in the realm of housing including us.    Hope it is  informative. 
    Mary Terry is working on our Senior Housing  Survey,  but it is a bit 
delayed due to her work preparing for this  conference and other Island 
Institute work.   She has produced a very  rough first draft,  but will get it 
more refined after the updates and  input I gave her and I will get it out to  
you.          We will be looking  for your comments on the survey when it 
is in more finished  form. 
    The senior housing committee (SHC?) is still just  Chee,  myself and 
Mary Terry.  If you know of other folks that might  join up,  let us know.   
Mary is turning up contacts and input  into our program concerning making the 
financing work better.   More  details when things gel a bit more.   
    Weatherization of Maine homes is going to produce a  lot of work 
everywhere including here.  If someone were interested in  getting certified as an 
energy auditor, there could be much work here and  on the other islands.   
Peaks has such a person,  but none  are here or on the other Casco Bay 
islands that I know of.  There will of course be much work doing the 
weatherizations  for those able to accommodate it.
