MDHHS seeks applicants for weatherization grants

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued a competitive Grant Funding Opportunity for statewide weatherization services.

The purpose of the program is to provide energy conservation and related health and safety services for eligible low-income households at no cost to the resident. MDHHS issues grants to local weatherization operators across the state to serve designated areas, ensuring that all counties in Michigan can benefit from this energy-saving program.

This opportunity is open to any community action agency or public or nonprofit entities.

An estimated $18.3 million is available for the first 12 months of the program. Each applicant will be awarded funding based on the number of counties served and the number of applicants awarded in each county. Maximum funding amounts for each county are based on population and temperature data. After the initial agreement period, continuation awards will be available. MDHHS anticipates issuing up to 25 awards.

All applicant agencies must register for the EGrAMS system and request an application by 5 p.m., Friday, April 25. Grant applications must be submitted electronically through the EGrAMS program by 3 p.m., Wednesday, April 30. The initial program period begins July 1, 2025, and ends Sept. 30, 2025.

For more information or to apply, visit the EGrAMS website and select "About EGrAMS" link in the left panel to access the "Competitive Application Instructions" training manual. The complete GFO can be accessed under the ‘Current Grants’ section under the “Community Action & Economic Opportunity” link and selecting the “WAPD2-2025” grant program.

A pre-application conference was held to discuss this funding opportunity and provide instructions on using the EGrAMS system. The recorded conference can be accessed from the “Documents” tab of the GFO on the EGrAMS website.
