Energy Efficient Wildfire Rebuilding Incentive

How it works

The Energy Efficient Wildfire Rebuilding Incentive helps owners rebuild homes damaged by wildfire with incentives for rebuilding to code or above code. The official page shows the program was designed to encourage energy-efficient rebuilding after wildfire recovery.

What the money covers

For site-built residential structures, the incentive is tied to rebuilding to current code or to an above-code standard such as the Residential Reach Code or a new homes utility program. The official page also lists a separate incentive for replacing a manufactured dwelling with an energy efficient NEEM 1.1 or better dwelling.

Amounts and matching

The official page states these amounts:

• Site-built home rebuilt to current code: $3,000.
• Site-built home rebuilt to an above-code standard such as the Residential Reach Code or a new homes utility program: $6,000.
• Low- or moderate-income household rebuilding a site-built home to current code: $7,500.
• Low- or moderate-income household rebuilding a site-built home to an above-code standard: $15,000.
• Replacing a manufactured dwelling with an energy efficient NEEM 1.1 or better dwelling: $12,500.

How to apply

The page is an incentives landing page and does not, in the excerpt we found, give a complete step-by-step application narrative.

Timing and deadlines

The program budget on the official page is shown as fully committed, with $0 remaining and the page updated August 18, 2025. That suggests the current funding round is exhausted, even though the program page still exists.
