OPALCO lider\u00f3 un grupo de trabajo en todo el condado para identificar las necesidades de nuestros residentes de bajos ingresos y colaborar en soluciones efectivas. Los hallazgos muestran que existe un amplio espectro de necesidades de asequibilidad que abordar y que una respuesta efectiva requerir\u00e1 la participaci\u00f3n de agencias de todo el condado. OPALCO har\u00e1 su parte, proponiendo nuevas medidas en el presupuesto de 2016 de la Cooperativa para abordar la asequibilidad de la electricidad para los hogares calificados.<\/p>\n

El grupo de trabajo, que comenz\u00f3 a reunirse en julio de 2015, incluy\u00f3 partes interesadas de fundaciones comunitarias de la isla, servicios familiares, el Banco de Vivienda del Condado y el Consejo de Oportunidades. Luego de tres reuniones de partes interesadas y una investigaci\u00f3n de datos proporcionada por el grupo consultor CLEAResult, OPALCO ha publicado un informe completo de los hallazgos, disponible en l\u00ednea en https:\/\/www.opalco.com\/resource-library\/<\/a> (ver Buscar documentos<\/strong>, seleccione la carpeta Materiales del tablero<\/strong>, seleccione la carpeta 2015<\/strong>, seleccione la carpeta Octubre<\/strong>, haga clic en el icono del documento para ver el PDF).<\/p>\n

Tres preguntas clave<\/h2>\n

El grupo de trabajo busc\u00f3 abordar tres preguntas clave: qui\u00e9n est\u00e1 necesitado, qu\u00e9 tan grande es la necesidad y c\u00f3mo podemos colaborar para ayudar mejor a los isle\u00f1os en dificultades. Utilizando los datos disponibles del mercado y del censo, el grupo de trabajo determin\u00f3 que aproximadamente 19% de residentes de tiempo completo est\u00e1n por debajo de 150% de las Pautas Federales de Pobreza, lo que representa alrededor de 1,500 hogares isle\u00f1os y 3,000 personas. Se inventariaron todos los recursos disponibles para asistencia comunitaria y se calcularon estimaciones de cu\u00e1nto apoyo adicional se necesita.<\/p>\n

Para estos 1,500 hogares, la mayor parte de su presupuesto mensual es vivienda (23%), seguido por transporte (16%), atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica (12%) y hasta 10% para gastos de electricidad (las cifras var\u00edan ligeramente para personas mayores, familias con ni\u00f1os y adultos solteros). ). Las soluciones efectivas requerir\u00e1n la colaboraci\u00f3n de todas las agencias del condado para mejorar la asequibilidad en las islas.<\/p>\n

OPALCO financi\u00f3 el costo de la Evaluaci\u00f3n de Necesidades y tomar\u00e1 la iniciativa con una soluci\u00f3n para reducir el gasto de electricidad para esos hogares. El Proyecto PAL de OPALCO recauda donaciones voluntarias de miembros de la cooperativa para financiar unos 250 premios de asistencia de aproximadamente $150 cada uno durante la temporada de calefacci\u00f3n. Para extender la asistencia, el personal de OPALCO recomendar\u00e1 que la Junta considere un par de opciones para el presupuesto de 2016 adem\u00e1s de continuar con el Proyecto PAL: 1) Desarrollar un Programa de Asistencia Energ\u00e9tica que otorgar\u00eda subvenciones basadas en los ingresos y el tama\u00f1o del hogar utilizando pruebas de calificaci\u00f3n existentes. (programas SSI, SSDI, LIHEAP); o 2) aumentar las donaciones de los miembros a PAL con una cantidad presupuestada para aumentar la eficacia de ese programa.<\/p>\n

El director general Foster Hildreth espera hacer una recomendaci\u00f3n para una soluci\u00f3n OPALCO como parte de la discusi\u00f3n presupuestaria en la reuni\u00f3n de noviembre. Busque los materiales de la Junta de noviembre que se publicar\u00e1n en l\u00ednea el lunes 16 de noviembre de 2016 en la secci\u00f3n Buscar documentos\/Materiales de la Junta\/2015\/Noviembre del sitio web de OPALCO.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
