Good Funding News

We’ve had some real good news regarding various funding opportunities for both of our SmartHomes in the past couple of weeks.

The Center for Resource Conservation has awarded the Longmont SmartHome $15,000 to go toward the installation of a solar photovoltaic system, which should cover most, if not all, of the costs of the system. Many thanks to the CRC!.

The City of Longmont Housing & Human Service Advisory Board has recommended to the City Council that $66,165.00 in 2010 City Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds be awarded for the construction of our Longmont SmartHome project. If additional resources are received by the City the award could increase to $75,000. Thank you Longmont!

IBM has awarded Colorado WIN Partners $10,000.00 for a research grant to study the impact of technology on the residents of the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome. Thanks IBM!
