Weatherization Assistance Program (Nebraska)

Nebraska weatherization services are arranged by regional nonprofit providers. The provider checks eligibility and performs an energy audit before scheduling approved work.

Who can apply

Eligible low-income homeowners and renters can apply. Renters need written landlord permission. Priority and funding availability affect scheduling; eligibility does not guarantee immediate service.

What help is available

Measures may include insulation, sealing drafts and selected heating-efficiency or safety work. The state specifically excludes general roof replacement, siding repairs and replacement windows.

Documents to prepare

  • Prepare income and household information.
  • Have utility records and property details available.
  • For a rental, ask about written permission from the owner.
  • Tell the provider about any previous weatherization.

How to get started

  1. Find the regional provider

    Use the map and links on Nebraska’s weatherization page.

  2. Complete local intake

    Ask about the checklist and waiting list, then submit the application to the provider.

  3. Arrange the audit

    Discuss the home’s energy problems and review the measures the audit supports.

After applying

Confirm the work scope and appointments. Keep the provider’s maintenance guidance and ask about the final inspection.
