The U.S. Department of Energy is offering new and updated resources to support implementation of the Home Energy Rebate programs:

Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) Sample Application Responses: To further simplify and expedite the application process, DOE has made significant changes to the sample HOMES funding application for states and territories. Changes include:

• Prompts to provide greater insight into what DOE is looking for in responses.
  
• Adding response options that might be relevant to your state. We’ve marked these as examples within the text.
  
• Clarifying sample responses that states asked questions about in the previous version.
  
• Distinguishing best practices from requirements.
  
• Aligning prompts and answers with the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program as appropriate.
