Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation is located at 555 Kennedy Boulevard. Thanks to a New Jersey Department of Community Affairs-sponsored program, various low-income families in Bayonne can now receive weatherization assistance funding if they meet the qualifications, The Jersey Journal reports.
Weatherization assistance refers to having heating systems in a home replaced, windows caulked or light bulbs replaced.
The goal of the program is to make homes more comfortable for the winter while conserving energy, said Eleanor Tiefenwerth, executive director of the Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation (BEOF).
To receive the assistance, the applicant must be a Bayonne resident, either a tenant or homeowner, and meet income guidelines of 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
Applications for both programs are available at the BEOF office, 555 Kennedy Blvd., Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information, call (201) 437-7222.
