Low income Weatherization Assistance Program

The federal Weatherization Assistance Program was established to help low-income families and individuals improve energy efficiency and lower energy costs, as well as assist with energy-related health and safety issues in the home.

In support of the program, SRP provides $725,000 per year to the Arizona Community Action Association to assist in their efforts to improve energy efficiency for low-income homeowners. SRP provides up to $6,000 per eligible household for energy-efficiency home improvements on top of federal funding. Improvements could include:

• Insulation
• Window shading
• Low-flow showerheads
• Faucet aerators
• Air conditioner duct seals
• Space heating and cooling system equipment maintenance and tune-up
• Evaporative cooler tune-ups or motor upgrades
• ENERGY STAR-labeled compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs

Qualifying households may also receive additional support through federal funding for installing these types of energy-efficient measures in their homes. As a guideline, eligibility is based on the number of family members in the household and total household income:

Persons in family	Annual household income
1	$24,120
2	$32,480
3	$40,840
4	$49,200
5	$57,560
6	$65,920
7	$74,280
8	$82,640
For families with more than 8 persons, add $8,360 for each additional person.
