Policies and Procedures Manual

The Iowa Weatherization Program Policies and Procedures Manual provides information needed to administer the Iowa Weatherization Program. The information includes program policies, procedures, and practices for both the administrative and technical areas of the program.

Although the Policy and Procedures Manual provides policy and procedure guidelines for both the administrative and technical areas of the program, it does not take the place of the weatherization contracts, Iowa Weatherization State Plan, federal rules and regulations, and the other weatherization manuals. Those documents, regulations, and manuals must be used with this manual if the agency is going to effectively administer the Weatherization Program.

Although the Technical Standards Manual provides guidelines for the technical areas of the program, it does not take the place of the weatherization contracts, Iowa Weatherization State Plan, federal rules and regulations, and the other weatherization manuals. Those documents, regulations, and manuals must be used with this manual if the agency is going to effectively administer the Weatherization Program.
