Alabama State Funds
- In 1996, Senate Bill 45 was passed in the legislature providing
for a state low-income weatherization program to supplement federal
funds by including a voluntary tax check-off option for state
income-tax filers. Taxpayers may designate an amount of their
refund as a voluntary contribution to the "Neighbors
Helping Neighbors Fund" The Department of Economic
and Community Affairs will administer the monies, which will help
provide weatherization assistance to eligible recipients. Funding
has been accumulating for 2-3 years and totals about $72,000 as
of October 2002.
