ONE RED - Residential Pre-Weatherization Program

Concept

The Residential Pre-Weatherization program will address critical home repairs in homes that would cause a home to be deferred from the Nebraska Weatherization Assistance Program (NeWAP). The program will result in enhanced energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction while lowering utility bills and improving health for low-income residents. ONE RED will fund 100% of project costs.

Funding available: $4 million 

Greenhouse gas reductions by 2030: 13,000 metric tons 

Grant funds will be subawarded to non-profits that administer Nebraska’s Weatherization Program in different geographic areas. The subawardees will determine eligibility based on an energy audit of the home and oversee the repairs and upgrades.

Eligibility

Applicants must be eligible for assistance under Nebraska’s Weatherization Assistance Program.
