Program Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides grants to states, territories, and some Indian tribes to improve the energy efficiency of the homes of low-income families. These governments, in turn, contract with local governments and nonprofit agencies to provide weatherization services to those in need using the latest technologies for home energy upgrades.
Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this program, you must be a resident of the state of Connecticut. Preference may be given to:
- People over 60 years of age
- Families with one or more members with a disability
- Families with children (in most states)
In order to qualify, you must also have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below 60 percent of the State Median Income:
