Who can apply
The program serves low-income households, with particular attention to older adults, people with disabilities and children. Ask the county agency about current screening and property requirements.
What help is available
An energy audit determines cost-effective work. Measures can include insulation, air sealing and combustion-appliance safety checks.
Documents to prepare
Ask the agency which income and residence records it needs, and whether owner permission or property information is necessary. Do not send account credentials or original ownership papers without instructions.
How to get started
Find the county’s community action office through the state’s linked agency directory. If you cannot locate it, call the Community Action Agencies Unit at 515-776-8871.
Complete intake and arrange the assessment if selected. Ask which work is approved and when access to the home is needed.
After applying
Keep assessment and contractor paperwork. For heating-bill assistance, ask separately about LIHEAP; weatherization concerns improvements to the home.
