Weatherization Assistance Program (Missouri)
Last updated August 2026
Missouri's Weatherization Assistance Program makes free energy-efficiency improvements, like insulation and air sealing, to lower your bills for good. It is run by the Department of Natural Resources Division of Energy and delivered by local agencies. Because the improvements stay with the home, the savings repeat for years.
The work follows an assessment. A local agency auditor does an energy audit of your home to find which measures produce the greatest savings, then installs those. So the plan is built for your specific house, not a fixed menu.
Renters are welcome, not just owners. Both renters and homeowners can qualify, typically with the landlord's permission for renters, and you provide income documentation to verify eligibility.
Eligibility is income-based, tied to the federal poverty guidelines. Ask your local agency for the current income limit for your household size, since the exact figure is set by program year.
The service costs nothing. The program is funded through the U.S. Department of Energy, so weatherization is provided at no cost to eligible households.
You apply through your local weatherization agency; Missouri's network includes 18 agencies serving different areas of the state. Pair weatherization with LIHEAP for help on this season's bill while the home is fixed for the long run.
