Mid Michigan Community Action Completes Energy-Saving Upgrades at Baytown Family Neighborhood

8/13/2025

0 Comments

 
​Bay City, MI—Mid Michigan Community Action Agency (Mid Michigan CAA) has completed a major Weatherization project at Baytown Family Neighborhood, a 150-unit affordable housing community in Bay City. The upgrades will help families save money on energy bills, live in safer homes, and enjoy better comfort year-round.

“This project is about more than saving energy—it’s about helping families live better,” said Johnny Mills, Weatherization Director at Mid Michigan CAA. “We’re proud to make a big impact for Baytown residents.”

Helping Families and the Community
The improvements included:
  • New energy-efficient furnaces and on-demand hot water heaters
  • Sealing over 1,200 windows and doors to prevent drafts
  • Adding 75,000+ square feet of attic insulation
  • Replacing 1,526 light fixtures with energy-efficient models
  • Installing 700 smoke alarms and 150 carbon monoxide detectors

These upgrades directly benefit 324 residents, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities.

Powered by Local Jobs and Materials
Mid Michigan CAA partnered with local contractors and sourced most materials from nearby suppliers, ensuring the project not only improved homes but also boosted the local economy. The Weatherization program also offers job training opportunities, helping workers build stable careers in the construction and energy efficiency sectors.

Strong Partnerships and Smart Investments
The $1.3 million project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) and other partners contributing for a total investment of $2.6 million. By combining funding sources, Mid Michigan CAA was able to reach more families and deliver long-term savings. Weatherization helps keep energy use reasonable in low-income homes, which means more families can keep up with their utility bills. It also helps preserve affordable housing by improving older homes.
