The first week of each month, the LIHEAP coordinator generates and distributes a list of all applicants who received LIHEAP to Alaska Housing Finance Corporation's weatherization subgrantees. This assists the subgrantees by identifying households containing vulnerable residents. If a household contains an older adult, disabled individual, or a child under the age of 6, the weatherization application is given priority over other households. At the end of each quarter, subgrantees submit a report to the LIHEAP program coordinator. These reports are used to complete the weatherization sections of the Household Report. It also allows the State to monitor which types of households are being assisted with LIHEAP funds. If the applicant lives in subsidized housing, weatherization is usually addressed by the housing authority who is also acting as the landlord. All rental recipients of weatherization services must have the landlord's permission; the landlord's permission is received and verified by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC). AHFC is the largest subsidized housing provider in Alaska. Benefit Levels 5.9 Do you have a maximum LIHEAP weatherization benefit/expenditure per household?
