The core aim of the announcement is twofold: to solicit grant applications for Program Year 2010 and to set out the grant guidance and management information that recipients must follow, as laid out in Weatherization Program Notice (WPN) 10-1, which serves as the governing guidance for how the program is operated and managed for that year.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity within the Energy funding activity category, and it is structured as a formula grant program with an expected 58 awards. The announcement anticipates an estimated total funding amount of $210,000,000. Individual award sizes range from a floor of $79,614 to a ceiling of $15,786,616, reflecting the formula-based distribution across eligible jurisdictions. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligible applicants are state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. In practice, these grants support weatherization-related services for income-eligible households, typically aimed at reducing energy burdens, improving home energy efficiency, and supporting health and safety improvements tied to residential energy performance. The announcement emphasizes that applicants must follow the program rules, reporting expectations, and administrative requirements described in WPN 10-1, since that document is specifically referenced as the source for program-year guidance and management expectations.
