Weatherization Assistance Program (Tennessee)

Tennessee weatherization applications go through the agency serving your county. Ask for its application and current home-assessment requirements.

Who can apply

The program serves qualifying households with energy-efficiency needs. A home’s structural condition can prevent work until other repairs are completed.

What help is available

Measures can include insulation, air sealing, ventilation and heating or cooling improvements selected through assessment.

Documents to prepare

  • Household income information.
  • Home and utility details.
  • Owner or building-manager permissions requested by the agency.

How to get started

  1. Find county intake

    Use THDA’s program directory.

  2. Request the application

    Ask the local agency whether it accepts paper, email or online submissions.

  3. Arrange assessment

    Discuss structural concerns and any waiting list before expecting work.

After applying

Keep provider contact details and ask about the audit’s proposed measures. Apartment residents should discuss coordination with the building manager.
