Weatherization Assistance Program
 |
Plan |
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
includes $5 billion made available through the US
Department of Energy (DOE) to states for weatherization
assistance programs. The Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs (TDHCA) applied to DOE for
approximately $327 million which if approved, will be
made available to applicants through a Notice of Funding
Availability. TDHCA has identified potential
sub-recipients in its application to the DOE including
the City of Arlington. Sub-recipient awards are
anticipated to be between $500,000 and $1 million.
Weatherization assistance program activities will
include measures to reduce air infiltration,
installation of insulation, replacement of inefficient
appliances and heating and cooling systems, and energy
education for consumers. Grants up to $6,500 will be
available to eligible households earning up to 200% of
the federal poverty income guidelines.
