Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Weatherization Assistance Program
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) 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 IIJA funds and selected service providers for Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Region 8, Statewide Multi-Family Weatherization, is vacant. DEQ expects to announce remaining service providers and program launch in 2025.
