2024 GNS Online ApplicationAdobeFIN
Great Northern Services’ goal with our online application is to make it easier for clients to fill out and
submit the necessary paperwork. No one is required to apply online. If you would prefer a physical
application you may request one by calling (530) 938-4115 ext. 120.
Assistance is based on a State of California mandated system, not on a first-come first-serve basis.
Before applying you are asked to review the pre-application packet available for download on our
website. It includes the following information:
• Proof of income guidelines, how to document your energy usage, and program information
• Monthly Budget Planning Guide
• 2024 Fact Sheet-Income Guidelines
• WattSmart Energy Guide and an Energy Education Pamphlet
During the online application you will be asked to sign that you have received and reviewed these
materials.
At the end of the online application you will be asked to upload documentation of your income and
energy expenses. PDFs are the most reliable readable digital format to upload and there are free PDF
scanning apps available on most phones. If you must take a photo of physical documents, make sure
any image is clear and readable and captures the entire document.
Please review the pre-application packet to make sure you have the correct documents ready before
you begin.
If required items are missing or cannot be used we will contact you by email at the address you
provide. If we do not receive all the necessary documents we will not be able to provide assistance.
If you are requesting Weatherization as well as Energy Assistance you may be contacted with
additional forms to fill out.
We hope this online application makes it easier for some members of our community to go through
the application process. We understand that it is not for everyone and we are still committed to other
forms of outreach and intake. We offer application assistance by phone and we partner with
Community & Family Resource Centers to offer in-person assistance all around the county.

Established in 1981, LIHEAP is a federally funded program that helps low-income households
pay their energy bill. Assistance is in the form of a dual or single party warrant, or direct
payment to a utility provider on behalf of an eligible applicant. Eligibility is based on the
household’s total monthly income. Because of significant funding cuts, the federal government
requires that states target households with low-incomes and high energy costs, taking into
consideration households with elderly and disabled persons and children under six years of age.
I have read and understand the following program guidelines and education pamphlets:
☐ the Energy Assistance and Weatherization program information sheet
☐ the WattSmart Energy Savings Guide
☐ the Energy Education Pamphlet
☐ the Resource Information Guide
☐ and reviewed and completed the Monthly Budget Planning Guide
Weatherization applicants, what are your main concerns for your home?
I am quite concerned about the state of our windows and the quality of the insulation that helps keep the heat in and cold out during
during the winter months as well. The windows have many that are broken or missing panes of glass as well as the windows that are still
intact are very old and do help much with retaining the heat at night and the little bit that it does keep in just gets blown out through the
drafts that come through. The ceiling walls and floor insulation doesn't seem to be there at all or at least not doing what it was intended to
do. I know when the summer months come about the swamp cooler helps and that the cool air that it does help is pulled out but the draft
and bring in lots of dirt and dust from outside along with it. The water heater is concerning as well and has already blown breakers in
the main breaker box and has also needed my attention due to it leaking badly. Its also quite old and has never been much on energy
effiency at all. I do believe that some wind turbines on the roof would be helpful and help with the mainting tempatures is it was on a
thermostate to help regulate the tempatures in the roof crawl space. I do know that the primary concerns is mostly the windows, doors
and insulation of our home that i believe would help with our heating and cooling bills drasticlly. Due to my disablities I am not able to
go out as needed to cut firewood or kindling for use of the fireplace on a regular basis.
