How We Help For eligible residents in Santa Clara County: 9a. Santa Clara County Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) | Weatherization Assistance ProgramThe Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. It is this country's longest running and perhaps most successful energy efficiency program. By reducing the energy bills of low-income families instead of offering aid, weatherization reduces dependency and liberates these funds for spending on more pressing family issues. On average, weatherization reduces heating bills by 31% and overall energy bills by $274 per year. This spending, in turn, spurs low-income communities toward job growth and economic development.
Eligibility for services for low-income households under the LIHEAP Program is based on the income level of the applicant and all people living in the household who are 18 years or older. An application is available for download on the Application Forms page of this website. The Weatherization programs include, but are not limited to: minor home repair; exterior door replacement; glass/window replacement; weatherstripping; water heater blankets; showerheads; thermostats; heater repair/replacement; refrigerator replacement; water heater repair/replacement; ceiling fans; and installation of CO detectors. For an application in Santa Clara County, call 1-866-205-2388. Leave a message with your mailing address to request an application. To speak with a representative, call 1-408-920-3953.
