POLICY ADVISORY COUNCIL
SUBGRANTEE TASK FORCE
As required by Federal regulations, a Policy Advisory Council (PAC) assists in the
development and implementation of the WAP and advises DHCR on a broad range of
issues relating to weatherization. The PAC is broadly representative of organizations
that provide services to low-income persons in New York State. PAC meetings are held
regularly throughout the contract/budget period. Travel by PAC members to PAC
meetings is reimbursed by DHCR.
A Subgrantee Task Force consisting of subgrantees' Weatherization Directors from
across the State provides an opportunity for local program operators to meet, identify,
discuss, and resolve a wide variety of program issues. Subgrantee Task Force
meetings are held regularly throughout the contract/budget period and may be either
Statewide or regional in scope. Although the Task Force has no authority in law or
regulation, it is an important source of communication for the identification and
development of program and policy issues. Travel by Weatherization Directors to the
Subgrantee Task Force meetings is reimbursed by DHCR.
