DES MOINES – Iowans have an opportunity to review and comment on Iowa’s Weatherization Assistance Program proposed Program Year 2023 State Plan.
The Weatherization Program’s mission is to enhance the well-being of low-income residents, particularly those persons who are most vulnerable such as the elderly, the handicapped, and children, through the installation of energy efficiency and energy-related health and safety measures, thus benefiting households through reduced energy bills, enhanced comfort, and the mitigation of energy-related health risks. The Iowa Department of Human Rights, Division of Community Action Agencies (DCAA) has been designated by the Governor of Iowa to administer Iowa’s Weatherization Assistance Program.
