Cold home? Moisture issues? Aging heating system? Limited income?
If your household earns less than 125% of median area income (MAI), you may qualify for one of three Juneau heating assistance programs.
- Our Healthy Homes Program is for lower income homes most in need of health, safety, and heating improvements. There is no cost to homeowners for participating in this program. All remediation work will be paid for by the program.
- Our Clean Heat Incentive Program provides lower to moderate income homes with up to almost 50% off the cost of installing a heat pump
- The Juneau Carbon Offset Fund, a partner program offered by Renewable Juneau, serves fossil fuel-burning homes looking to drastically cut fuel bills and eliminate the hazards of fossil fuels both on the property and in the home. There is no cost to homeowners for participating in this program. All installation costs will be paid for by the program, unless otherwise agreed to.
The table below shows program income cut-offs for various household sizes. 80% median area income (MAI) for both Healthy Homes and the Juneau Carbon Offset Fund, and 125% MAI for the Clean Heat Incentive Program.

What’s the Purpose of the Healthy Homes Program?
The Healthy Homes Program addresses multiple childhood diseases and injuries in the home. The program takes a comprehensive approach to these activities by focusing on housing-related hazards in a coordinated fashion, rather than addressing a single hazard at a time. It builds upon HUD’s successful Lead Hazard Control programs to expand its efforts to address a variety of environmental health and safety concerns including: mold, lead, allergens, asthma, carbon monoxide,

Clean Heat Incentive Program
