Terminating a live wire didn’t exactly come with his job description, but it’s something that Peterson, executive director of the Community Housing Development Organization, would gladly do again. Saline County funded a home Weatherization Assistance Program with American Rescue Plan Act dollars and asked his organization to take the lead. Since the program’s inception, Peterson has been able to help homeowners who are in situations that cause large energy bills, often unbeknownst to them. “We’ve seen a lot of things that made us feel extremely good about what we were doing — not only saving energy dollars but protecting them from dangerous situations,” Peterson said.
