Iowa Weatherization Assistance Program for Households
Iowa Department of Health and Human Services
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Iowa Weatherization Assistance Program for Households in its Iowa City, IA research directory. Directory placement does not confirm current service coverage or eligibility; verify both with the program administrator.
Iowa's Weatherization Assistance Program provides approved energy-efficiency and related health-and-safety measures at no cost to eligible low-income households. Households apply through the local Community Action Agency. An application or priority status does not guarantee that a dwelling will be weatherized, and the audit determines cost-effective measures.
The audit and local agency determine measures; there is no cash award to add to another program
