Idaho considers the presence of elderly, disabled or children, under 18, in the household as well as households with high energy burdens as priority demographics for weatherization. All participants will be prioritized according to the Weatherization Application Priority Formula Worksheet (Priority Formula) rules. Priority is automatically calculated by each Community Action Agency’s Weatherization reporting database based upon emergency situation; priority populations living in the household, including elderly persons, persons with disabilities, and children under 19; high residential energy use; and high energy burden. First priority to receive services is assigned to those eligible participants with an emergency heating situation. When selecting a home for energy audit, Community Action Agencies will review a participant household’s priority level relative to all other active applications within the same county that are eligible for the funding source planned to ensure to ensure proper prioritization of grant funds.
