Community Energy Project, Inc. is a small nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon, focused on environmental services related to housing efficiency and safety. Incorporated in 1987 in Oregon, its roots trace to a 1979 initiative prompted by energy and welfare challenges, and its mission is to equip people with tools and resources to maintain healthier, more livable homes, manage utility costs, and conserve natural resources. The organization concentrates on weatherization, home-energy education, and lead-poisoning prevention, while offering in-home services such as emergency safety repairs and installation of small weatherization measures for low-income seniors and people with disabilities. It conducts more than 100 community workshops annually across the Portland area, reaching over 1,300 families at more than 140 locations, and it performs up to 425 services each year, often performing repairs before weatherization to assist roughly 300 families. A 2025 collaboration with R2E2 to design a replicable energy-efficiency program for low-income households in Hillsboro is a recent development.
