The Weatherization and LIEAP Programs are designed at making housing for low-income persons more energy-efficient and less costly for the residents. Persons at or below 200% of poverty-level income are eligible for the Weatherization Program. Persons at or below 175% of poverty-level income are eligible for fuel assistance (LIEAP). The residence is audited and a list of needs is developed. The program provides the materials and pays contractors for the labor to weatherize the home. Furnaces may be repaired or replaced, if not repairable, through the program. In addition, some inefficient/high-cost non-operating appliances can also be replaced in certain circumstances.
The furnace repair/replacement program is available for homes that have been weatherized. Income eligible clients may qualify to have their heating source repaired or replaced if it is not cost effective to repair.
