Cold Weather Supplies:

As a result of the recent extremely cold weather in our area, CAA received emergency funding to provide cold weather supplies to homeless individuals and families, farm worker families and low income households in San Mateo County .

CAA is collaborating with St. Vincent de Paul to provide sleeping bags to homeless individuals and families.  CAA is collaborating with the Pescadero High School and Puente de la Costa Sur to provide sleeping bags, blankets, jackets, coats to farm worker families.

Tankless Water Heater Demonstration Pilot:

CAA received discretionary funding from The Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) and The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to install tankless water heaters and develop a feasibility study to determine the effectiveness of tankless water heaters versus the regular storage type water heaters.  CAA is collaborating with Richard Heath and Associates (RHA) to develop protocol for installation procedures, measure installation standards, crew training and customer satisfaction.
