Application process

The first step for a customer interested in IHWAP is to complete a pre-application. This is completed by going to https://dceo.illinois.gov/communityservices/homeweatherization/apply-online.html. You will be required to create an account and go through the pre-app. This will take approximately 20 - 30 minutes. Once completed, this will place you on the Weatherization Waiting List for our Agency. If you have issues or cannot get this completed, you may also contact our office where a staff member can assist you with completing your pre-app over the phone. When applications are needed, customers are called from this list to come into the office and complete an application. The waiting list never expires and customer's will stay on it indefinitely. Once a customer's application is approved and it is their turn in the priority ranking, an IHWAP certified assessor will conduct an energy audit on the home to help determine the needs of the home. When funds are available, work will begin on all IHWAP assessment approved homes in the priority ranking order.

The Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program's (IHWAP) primary purpose is helping low-income Illinois residents save energy and money while increasing the comfort of their homes. IHWAP accomplishes this by installing weatherization measures that pay for themselves over their expected service life. IHWAP also addresses home health and safety issues where they are connected to home energy and indoor air quality. IHWAP is not a home improvement nor a home rehabilitation program. Areas that weatherization focuses on include: properly running and efficient heat source, attic and sidewall insulation, caulking and weather stripping existing doors and windows. IHWAP is NOT a door or window replacement program. If a home has major structural or health & safety concerns, it will be deferred from IHWAP. Tazwood Community Services acts as the Home Weatherization Assistance Program for Tazewell, Woodford, and Peoria counties.
