The intent of this project is to offer weatherization services to households that are low to moderate incomes in Webb and Zapata counties which would involve replacing HVAC units or installing window units or mini splits. We will also do some minor rehab of homes to address and install ADA measures and make the homes safer and accessible. ADA work requires a physician letter to address the ADA home requirements. For homes that are older than 1978, lead-based environmental issues/requirements will be addressed. Households that may be assisted are those who qualify under established family income guidelines as determined by HUD and meet the eligibility criteria as established in Housing Rehabilitation Program Policy and Procedures Manual.
