FNS Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) About the Weatherization Assistance Program The Weatherization Assistance Program assists income-eligible families and individuals by reducing their heating and cooling costs and addressing health and safety issues in their homes through energy-efficiency measures.
Weatherization services reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool homes and provide hot water, thus reducing energy consumption, while minimizing the impact of higher fuel costs on low-income families. Household energy-use reductions and resultant energy cost savings are significant, with an average annual savings in excess of 20%. WAP providers conduct an assessment, or “energy audit,” of the residence to identify specific measures to increase energy efficiency. Income Eligibility.
