Grants for residents to make energy efficiency improvements and address health hazards within the home.
About the Award:
This grant is meant to improve energy efficiency in low-income households through weatherization improvements and upgrades. Individual households apply for this program through a local weatherization provider. Weatherization agencies will work with the tribes to provide services in a community.

The weatherization program evaluates the individual home for eligible energy savings measures and for health and safety issues that need to be addressed.

Health and Safety improvements are usually related to Lead-Based Paint, Asbestos, mold, moisture, and poor indoor air quality. Every home receives ventilation equipment to ensure healthy indoor air quality over the long term.
