Sec.16a-41-35. Eligibility

(a) Income eligibility exists when the household's included income, based on the total gross annual income, as determined by that household's current income status, excluding assets, and, based on size, does not exceed 150% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for the current program year.

(b) When a dwelling unit/s is located in a building that has five (5) or more units, and at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the households in that building, are at or below one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the current federal poverty guidelines, then, all of the dwelling units in that building may be weatherized. When a dwelling unit/s is located in a building that has four (4) or less units, fifty percent (50%) of the households must be income eligible. However, the expenditures for that entire building may not exceed the maximum cost per unit multiplied by the number of eligible households.

(c) Income may be zero for any applicant household and, in cases of self-employment only, may result in a negative income. Zero income must be sworn or affirmed to by the applicant.

(d) Program eligibility for weatherization exists when a household:

(1) Is income eligible as stated in section 16a-41-26 (a).

(2) The dwelling unit is in sufficient physical condition to warrant the installation of insulation materials.
