Hi Commissioner Jordan,
I chatted with my Social Impact team, and they shared a few things about your inquiry into providing cooling devices during heat events we've done or participated in previously:
-
During the heat dome event, Avista ran a short pilot program providing portable cooling A/C's to low-income and medically vulnerable clients. That program led to learning about how to best support in-need customers
with temporary cooling, but was not continued in perpetuity.
-
A variation of this became providing portable fans through our LIRAP program to various non-profits to distribute amongst their client base.
-
Under the Named Communities Investment Fund in 2024 and 2025 - we received applications and made awards to Aging & Long Term Care of EW and SNAP to distribute ACs to their clients. We have not received applications
from either organization this year.
Hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Ryan Arnold
