Weatherization Assistance Program
Program Basics
The Weatherization Assistance Program provides energy conservation measures in dwelling units occupied by families at or below 150% of the federal poverty income guidelines as established by the US Office of Management and Budget. For eligible homeowners and renters, there is no direct cost to participate in the program. Owners of eligible rental properties may be required to pay of 50% of any capital improvement measures that are installed.

- Air sealing;
- Energy efficient light bulbs;
- Insulation;
- Low-flow shower heads;
- Pipe wraps;
- Solar screens; and
