APPLICANT DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE
I understand that these programs are voluntary; if I choose to apply for weatherization assistance, I must provide all required information. During application processing I may be asked for more information in order to determine my eligibility.
I understand that the information I provide to complete this application will be used to determine and verify my eligibility for weatherization assistance and for the purposes of referral, research, evaluation, and analysis.
I understand that if I feel my application was unjustly denied or not processed in a timely manner, I may be entitled to a fair hearing if requested within 30 days of the completion date of the application or date of denial. Any such request for a hearing must be in writing and delivered or mailed to the local service provider.
In addition to any appeal rights from such hearing granted by the local service provider, I may contact the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department (OHCS) within 30 days of the service providers hearing decision to request that OHCS review the decision for material deficiencies.
The request for OHCS review must be in writing and delivered by email to energyservices@oregon.gov or mailed to 725 Summer St NE Suite B, Salem OR 97301. Review by OHCS, and the manner thereof, is at the sole discretion of OHCS.
I understand that the property cannot be, and is not currently, for sale, nor is it designated for acquisition or clearance (foreclosure) by federal, state or local programs.
I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information I provided to complete this application is true and correct.
My signature gives consent for other offices of the state and federal governments, their designated subcontractors, and the utility(ies) or home energy supplier(s) identified in this application to share information related to my application including information about my account(s) including, but not limited to, account number, account name, service address, annual usage or consumption, and annual costs. I agree to hold harmless and/or release such organizations from and against any claims, losses, demands, damages, or liability of any kind caused by or allegedly caused by such disclosure.
I authorize my utilities and/or my fuel suppliers/vendors to release my account information to OHCS and to the service provider for the purposes of providing weatherization assistance. I am the account holder or the customer’s authorized agent for the utility, fuel supplier, and/or fuel vendor service accounts(s) identified in this application.
I understand the information I provide will be used to determine and verify my eligibility for weatherization. I understand that if I feel my application was unjustly denied, I may be entitled to a fair hearing if requested within 30 days of the date of denial. If I feel I have been discriminated against by the local provider, I may appeal to Oregon Housing and Community Services.
My signature gives consent for offices of the state and federal governments, their designated subcontractors, and the utilities or home energy supplies to share information, including information about my account.
