Thread: If you have an annual household income of less than $44,100 (for a family of four), you may qualify

If you have an annual household income of less than $44,100 (for a family of four), you may qualify for up to $6500 in improvements through the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program.

The DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants Program is awarding an additional $3.2 billion to state, county, and city governments to parcel out for local projects that improve the energy efficiency of residential and commercial buildings.

Your eligibility is determined
If you are eligible, your weatherization agency puts you on a waiting list.
If you rent, you must get permission from your landlord.
People most in need are often moved to the top of the waiting list.

If I rent, can I still apply?
Whether you own or rent, live in a single-family home, multi-family housing complex, or a mobile home, you can apply for assistance. If you rent, you must get written permission from your landlord before weatherization services can be performed.

Thanks! We rent here and we cant afford to fix some of the things that are wrong. I know its their place to fix it but they wont until they just have to.

edited to add: I contacted the local office here and they put me on a waiting list. When they get to me then they will call and get more info. They must have had a huge request for it. It was just a answering machine. All it said was if you need assistance leave your info and we'll get back in touch with you.

Damn in the screwed bracket again too much money and not enough kids ..

I do this every year and the bigger the city the longer the wait. I rent and still use the program.
