The Weatherization Assistance Program installs energy
conservation materials on the homes of 1300 low-income
families annually to lower utility bills. Materials
generally installed include insulation of ceilings, duct
sealing, weather-stripping and caulking doors and windows,
replacement of broken windows and health and safety measures
that are required prior to weatherization.
Eligibility : Income must be at or below 200% of
current OMB poverty income guidelines.
Assistance : Applications may be obtained at your
local Weatherization Sub-grantee Office.
The Weatherization Assistance Program provides funds to
conserve energy in the homes of low-income people, with
emphasis on elderly, handicapped, and families with
children. An automated energy audit, National Energy Audit
(NEAT), is used to determine the most cost effective
measures on single frame houses. The Mobile Home Energy
Audit (MHEA) is used to determine the most effective
measures to be installed on mobile homes:
Measures installed on single framed houses and
multi-family units include:
- Replace broken windows.
- Caulk and weather strip doors and windows.
- Insulating un-insulated ceilings, walls and floors.
- Installing storm windows, thermostats and furnace
tune-ups.
- Health and safety measures that are required prior to
weatherizing the house.
