While the U.S. government funds WIC, we know that Oregon WIC will operate as usual through November. We hope that the government shutdown ends before then, and that there will be no interruptions to benefits. This is a developing situation, and we will keep participants updated on how the government shutdown may affect WIC benefits as more information becomes available, including any temporary interruptions that occur.

For now, please keep appointments and use benefits as you normally would.

To apply, print and complete this application

Washington County Office of Community Development
Attn: Wood Stove Exchange Program

During an appointment with your doctor, nurse, or nutritionist, you will discuss your health and diet. They can let you know if you are at nutritional risk.

To improve air quality and protect public health, residents in Washington County can receive $1,500-$3,500 to replace their old wood stove with a cleaner home heating system. For residents who qualify for a grant, the program will pay the full costs of replacing your wood stove.

1. Complete an application. The application is designed to pre-qualify you for the exchange program and determine if you qualify for a rebate or free replacement. Follow the submission instructions on the application. Call 503-846-4425 if you have questions.
2. Get inspected and approved. Program staff will visit your home to verify the age and eligibility of your current wood stove and discuss replacement options with you. Once approved, you will receive a letter confirming the amount of your rebate, or your eligibility for a free replacement.
3. Choose your vendor. Once you receive a rebate approval letter, you can start shopping! Your rebate approval letter can be used at any of the vendors on our approved list. We encourage you to shop around and get multiple bids. Heating devices, services and warranties may vary between vendors. For households receiving a free replacement, staff will work directly with you and an approved vendor or installer to prepare for the project.
4. Washington County pays vendor. Once your project is finished and permitted, program staff will pay your vendor the amount of your rebate. Any additional balance due is paid by the resident.

Every attempt will be made to perform exchanges promptly after program approval. A typical project time frame from application approval to project completion is approximately four to eight weeks. The work at your home may only take one or two days. Timelines may extend depending on participation levels, contractor availability and project priorities.

WIC services are free to participants.

Applying for and participating in the wood stove exchange program is free. Your out-of-pocket costs for replacing your wood stove will depend on your rebate amount (based on household income) and the cost of your replacement system. The program is completely free for households who qualify for a full-cost replacement grant.
