(pictured right). CAC is pleased to be operating Cal-SOAP, a well-established and proven program that encourages greater attendance at California's post secondary institutions on the part of those who historically have been underrepresented in California's post secondary education population. These groups considered underrepresented include: low income, first generation college-bound, and more recently, all students within a district having a lower than average college going rate.

Energy Services Clears the Air
CAC Energy Services installers this year have installed more than 700 carbon monoxide alarms as part of their free home weatherization visits for low-income families and individuals.  In May 2010, the state of California enacted a law requiring home owners to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. California residents must have carbon monoxide detectors in their homes as of July 1, 2011. This timeline applies only to single-family homes that have appliances that burn fossil fuels or homes that have attached garages or fireplaces. For all other types of housing, such as apartments and hotels, detectors should be in place as of January 1, 2013.
