Weatherization Assistance

The Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to help low income South Dakota households overcome the high cost of energy by making their homes more energy efficient.

Weatherization work is completed by four different community action programs serving specific counties throughout the state. See the list of community action programs below to contact the program serving your county.

Weatherization Measures

The weatherization of a home may or may not include weatherization measures such as:

  • Weather-stripping of doors and windows.
  • Caulking and sealing cracks and holes in a building structure.
  • Insulating attics, walls and under floors.
  • Repair, tune-up or replacement of non-functional heating systems.
  • Incidental repairs necessary to protect the weatherization material.

Eligibility

Eligibility is based on household income. Priority is given to the elderly, individuals with disabilities, families with children and single family dwellings.

There is no cost for weatherization assistance. However, funds are limited so you may be placed on a waiting list. Renters are eligible if the landlord gives written permission for the work to be done, and a contribution from the landlord will be required.
