 | Program Summary |
MaineHousing’s Weatherization Program and Central Heating Improvement Program (CHIP) provide grants to low-income homeowners and renters to reduce energy costs by improving home energy efficiency.
Weatherization improvements may include insulation, weatherstripping, caulking, and some safety-related repairs. CHIP grants may be used to repair or replace central heating systems.
| Am I Eligible? |
You may be eligible to receive Weatherization or CHIP assistance if your total household income falls within 230% of the federal poverty guidelines or 75% of the state area median income, whichever is less. Eligibility for households with incomes between 200% and 230% of the federal poverty guidelines is limited to those households with a member who is susceptible to hypothermia, such as elderly, a child under the age of two, or with a doctor's diagnosis.
| How Do I Apply? |
When you apply for the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), you are automatically considered for the Weatherization and CHIP Programs, too. Please refer to our agency contact list to apply for LIHEAP, Weatherization, or CHIP assistance.
