LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has issued a competitive Grant Funding Opportunity for statewide weatherization services.

This program aims to provide energy conservation and related health and safety services for eligible low-income households at no cost to the resident. MDHHS issues grants to local weatherization operators across the state to serve designated areas. This opportunity is open to any community action agency or public or nonprofit entities.

An estimated $18.3 million is available for the first 12 months of the program. Funds will be awarded based on the number of counties served and the number of applicants awarded in each county. Maximum funding amounts for each county are based on population and temperature data. After the initial agreement period, continuation awards will be available. MDHHS anticipates issuing up to 25 awards.

All applicant agencies must register for the EGrAMS system and request an application by 5 p.m. Eastern time Friday, April 25.
