| WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM |
| Rural Nevada Development Corporation |
The Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program was established in 1977 to assist low income persons in reducing their
utility bills by providing for various energy conservation measures. Assistance is provided free of charge and no liens or financial
obligations are placed on individuals receiving assistance.
Funding is provided through the State of Nevada Housing Division, primarily from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Additional funds have been allocated for the Weatherization Program through the Universal Energy Charge (UEC) to fund low
income energy assistance and conservation (FEAC) in the State of Nevada. Funds are also provided by:
Rural Nevada Development Corporation (RNDC) is currently providing weatherization services in the following counties: Churchill,
Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, and White Pine.
Allowable measures are dependent on funding, program guidelines, and regional climate:
An application must be completed by anyone interested in receiving Weatherization services. A determination of eligibility will be
made within 90 days of the date of application. Interested parties can complete, print, and sign an online application and then
mail it to our office with the required supporting documents, or call RNDC at 866-404-5204 to request an application packet.
Households whose annual gross income is at or below 150% of the federal poverty income guidelines (established by the Office

"The Sustainable Energy Resources for Consumers, or SERC, Grants were created to allow local weatherization agencies to install
weatherization materials and technologies that have promise for energy savings and benefits to customers, however cannot currently
be installed under the traditional Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). These projects were awarded for the first time ever in
August of 2010 through funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The projects will install and test the
effectiveness of a variety of technologies including solar electricity, various hot water heating technologies, in-home energy monitors,
heat pumps, cool roofs, among others." - DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Website
RNDC has funds available to fund SERC projects to low-income households in rural Nevada.
