Weatherization Assistance Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how low-income households can get free home energy efficiency upgrades to reduce heating and cooling costs.
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low-income households make their homes more energy-efficient to lower utility costs.
Who it's for
This program is designed specifically for low-income households looking to improve their home's energy performance.
What you get
You can receive free upgrades to help make your home more efficient. This typically includes home insulation help and sealing gaps to keep air from leaking in or out of your living space.
What it costs you
The service itself is free. However, if you are a renter, you will need to get permission from your property owner before any work can begin.
The catch to know
This program is not meant for emergency home repairs. Additionally, because of the level of demand, you may face a long waitlist before services are provided.
How to apply
- Check your eligibility based on your household income.
- Determine if you need permission from a landlord if you do not own your home.
- Contact your local agency to join the waitlist or request an assessment.
