How to get it
Contact the provider that serves your county
- Find your county in FloridaCommerce's official weatherization office directory.
- Contact that local provider to request an application and ask about eligibility, required documents and availability.
- Provide the requested household records and follow the agency's assessment and approval process.
Applications are obtained through local providers, not an online statewide application. Income, home assessment, available funding and provider rules determine access. A story or account signup does not guarantee upgrades or a particular dollar saving.
More context & the original report
Florida's Weatherization Assistance Program provides grant funds to community agencies and non-profits to help low-income families reduce energy costs. Households must earn no more than 200% of the federal poverty level, with priority given to seniors, people with disabilities, families with young children, and those with high utility burdens. Weatherization services include air sealing, insulation, ventilation, and repair or replacement of inefficient heating, cooling, and water-heating systems. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that these services save households about $358 annually and yield $2.69 in benefits for every dollar invested.
