Weatherization - A Program to increase your home's energy efficiency

The Alaska State Legislature recently dedicated $200 million over the next five years to the Home Weatherization program administered by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC).  AHFC issued a grant to Cook Inlet Housing to provide free weatherization services under this program to qualified individuals in order to make their homes more energy efficient and thus less costly to operate.  You may call us to speak with the Weatherization Department (793-3000) or you may download the CIHA Weatherization Program Brochure and Weatherization Application for more information.
