FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Weatherization Assistance Program by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Baltimore - September 14, 2009 - BITHENERGY is pleased to be awarded the contract to provide software and support for the Weatherization Assistance Program by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). DHCD is responsible for providing funds to low income households for weatherization programs. The software package provided by BITH will allow DHCD to track qualified families, home energy audits, funding sources and contractors. The state will also have the ability to track prior grants to ensure the maximum use of funds in its weatherization program. After implementation, DHCD will meet the seamless, transparent reporting capabilities that the new Federal regulations require. The BITH team has been tasked with rapidly implementing this solution to allow DHCD and its local agencies to begin processing transactions immediately. Jerry Sanders, Managing Director of BITHENERGY said “We are very excited about the opportunity to assist the state in this critical area. Rapid deployment of this solution should enable the state to manage the influx of stimulus dollars and position DHCD for the next round of funding. Additionally, this program is another key element in Governor O’Malley’s EmPower Maryland Initiative.” Contact: ###
