Weatherization programs are definitely what you need. They do have insulation and weather striping. Not sure if they cover mobile homes. Most do focus on the low income and senior citizens. Here is a listing of free weatherization and utility assistance programs in Florida, listed by utility company.

State of Florida We are looking for help in weatherizing a mobilehome for my Mother who lives alone and is 92 years old. Her power bill is way to high and she needs the heat and
cooling. Her home is old and is need of some weather stripping and insulation. We do not have much money to pay for any weatherizing updates or repairs. Is there any free help available to help her with that. She is a senior citizen so maybe a program for older people?

Can a renter use the the federal government has weatherization assistance programs and is giving thousands of dollars in grants to people. I rent and would like to get these grants so I can reduce my energy bills and save on heating costs in my apartment. Is a renter elegible?

Yes, if you rent you can take advatage of weatherization grants. Renters and familes that get PIP, HEAP, TANF, SSI, or other low income assistance, or who meet the income limits, must apply to your landlord. You then need to sign an agreement and also must pay a small cash contribution toward the cost of services. And the landlord contribution is greater if heat is included in the monthly rent that you pay or if extensive heating work is needed. Landlords who meet the income limits themselves can have that contribution limit and requirement waived by the program.
