The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will be holding a public meeting on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) published on May 21, 2009. In the NOPR, DOE proposed to amend the eligibility requirements applicable to multi-unit buildings under the Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons. Under the proposed rule, if a multi-unit building is under the Qualified Assistance Housing Program or Public Housing Program, identified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and included on a list published by DOE, that building would meet certain income and benefit eligibility requirements under the Weatherization Assistance Program without the need for further evaluation or verification. Also under the proposed rule, if a multi-unit building includes units that participate in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, is identified by HUD, and included on a list published by DOE, that building would meet the income eligibility requirements of the Weatherization Assistance Program without the need for further evaluation or verification. The proposed rule is intended reduce the procedural burdens on evaluating applications from buildings that are part of HUD public and assisted housing and U.S. Department of Treasury tax credit programs.
