----more---- In our second episode of Season 3, we're joined by Andy Stone, Executive Director of the New York State Weatherization Directors Association (NYSWDA), to explore the often-overlooked world of weatherization and its powerful impact on families, communities, and the environment.
Andy shares his 40+ year journey from energy auditor to state leader, explains the evolution of the Weatherization Assistance Program, and breaks down how the work goes far beyond energy savings — offering real outcomes like safer homes, lower utility bills, and even life-saving interventions.
We discuss:

-
How NYSWDA trains and certifies a statewide workforce
-
Success stories that show the human side of the program
-
The future of weatherization as a recognized skilled trade
-
How Community Action Agencies can collaborate to reach more families
Whether you're new to the program or a longtime advocate, this episode will leave you inspired by the powerful connection between housing, health, and hope.
