Wichita ? Gov. Mark Parkinson is calling attention to efforts in Kansas to make homes more energy-efficient with $56 million in federal stimulus dollars.

The money will be distributed over three years to nonprofit groups that provide weatherization and other services.

The effort targets elderly and disabled Kansans as well as households earning less than twice the federal poverty level, or about $44,000 for a family of four. Each family is eligible for up to $6,500 worth of help.

Parkinson was on hand in Wichita on Tuesday as resident Bernice Jones received a new furnace, air conditioning unit and refrigerator.

The governor also joined another Wichita resident, Renee McAnarney, for an energy audit of her home.
