5 WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE

Eligibility, 2605(c)(1)(A), 2605(b)(2) - Assurance 2 5.1 Designate the income eligibility threshold used for the Weatherization component Add Household Size Eligibility Guideline Eligibility Threshold 1 All Household Sizes HHS Poverty Guidelines 200.00% 5.2 Do you enter into an interagency agreement to have another government agency administer a WEATHERIZATION component? Yes No 5.3 If yes, name the agency and attach a copy of the Internal Agreement or Contract. 5.4 Is there a separate monitoring protocol for weatherization? Yes No WEATHERIZATION - Types of Rules 5.5 Under what rules do you administer LIHEAP weatherization? (Check only one.) Entirely under LIHEAP (not DOE) rules Entirely under DOE WAP (not LIHEAP) rules Mostly under LIHEAP rules with the following DOE WAP rule(s) where LIHEAP and WAP rules differ (Check all that apply): Income Threshold Weatherization of entire multi-family housing structure is permitted if at least 66% of units (50% in 2- & 4-unit buildings) are eligible units or will become eligible within 180 days Weatherize shelters temporarily housing primarily low income persons (excluding nursing homes, prisons, and similar institutional care facilities). Other - Describe: Mostly under DOE WAP rules, with the following LIHEAP rule(s) where LIHEAP and WAP rules differ (Check all that apply.) Income Threshold Weatherization not subject to DOE WAP maximum statewide average cost per dwelling unit. Weatherization measures are not subject to DOE Savings to Investment Ration (SIR ) standards. Other - Describe: IHCDA allows, as a LIHEAP program expense, the costs of eliminating energy related health and safety hazards prior to installation of weatherization materials through two distinct production budget categories.. Health & Safety (H&S) costs are included in the budget category (Support Operations) as Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), and therefore is both H&S costs join ECM costs in the Support average cost per unit (ACPU). Capital Intensive Operations function in the same way, except that costs charged to this budget category cannot be braided with DOE Base or BIL Base, whereas Support may be paired to DOE Base or IIJA Base. As Capital Intensive must not braid with DOE or IIJA, it will count as it's own solitary completion, and will have a higher ACPU than Support for this reason. Replacement of gas cook stoves will be allowed with LIHEAP funds as a health and safety measure and must be charged to either the Support or Capital Intensive budget categories. Replacement of the cook stove may not be charged to DOE but may be paid for with LIHEAP funds. Repair of the cooking stove may be charged to either DOE Health and Safety or either LIHEAP production budget categories. In addition, Weatherization allows use of LIHEAP funds to replace on demand water heaters and heat pumps as an ECM when they have an SIR of 1 or greater. IHCDA does not allow DOE or LIHEAP funds to be used for replacing air conditioners. Repairs to an air conditioning system may only be made when current operation of the AC unit endangers the operation of the furnace. Repairs can be charged to either DOE Health and Safety or LIHEAP Mechanical depending upon the funding source being used to weatherize the unit. Maximum allowable ACPU of LIHEAP Support Operations is $9,000, and of LIHEAP Capital Intensive is $15,400. Eligibility, 2605(b)(5) - Assurance 5 5.6 Do you require an assets test?

This is for LIHEAP and DOE. If any of the above questions require further explanation or clarification that could not be made in the fields provided, attach a document with said explanation here.
