Housing Department - Weatherization Assistance

The Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to increase the energy efficiency of dwellings owned and operated by low-income persons, reduce their total expenditures, and improve the health and safety of people in their homes. Weatherization assistance includes air sealing, caulking, glazing, weather-stripping, caulk patching, replacing broken glass and windows, attic, wall and floor insulation.

Who is eligible?

Any household at or below 200% of poverty is considered low-income and is therefore eligible for Weatherization services. The chart below shows the current income limits by household size.

How the Process Works:

An energy audit will be conducted to determine the measures that need to be taken to effectively weatherize the dwelling. Once the audit is complete the Auditor or Inspector from the weatherization program will meet you and your family to explain how the contractor will conduct the work. Throughout the weatherization process, the health and safety of your family remain a priority. A contractor will be assigned to your dwelling to complete all necessary weatherization services. Following weatherization, an inspector will return to make certain that all work was performed and everything is working properly.
