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).
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 30 days of the date the completed application and all supporting documents are received. 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 of Management and Budget) are eligible for assistance. Individuals participating in the state’s Energy Assistance Program (EAP) are eligible for services as well.
Assistance is provided to individuals residing in single and multi-family dwellings as well as mobile homes, and is available to either owner or renter occupied households. Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis.
Please contact Doreen Venturino, Housing Programs Manager or Meg Rhoades, Housing Programs Clerk with any questions regarding our Weatherization program.
