Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Weatherization Assistance Program
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provided additional federal funding for the state Weatherization Assistance Program. This funding is in addition to the annual amounts allocated to the agencies supporting the Weatherization Assistance Program and does not affect those allocations.
North Carolina has developed a plan for the BIL funds and selected service providers for Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. DEQ is evaluating proposals for a Region 6 service provider. The program expects to announce a Region 6 service provider and program launch in 2025.
