Weatherization Assistance
The Weatherization Assistance Program provides assistance to elderly, disabled, and low-income families, who pay a much higher percentage of their incomes for energy than other groups.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety. DOE provides funding to states, which manage the day-to-day details of the program. Low-income families receive services from a network of more than 900 local weatherization service providers. For more information, see the Weatherization Assistance Program Web site.
Weatherization Assistance Program grants to the states are managed by the EERE Project Management Center.
