Weatherization Assistance Program
What is Weatherization?
The Weatherization Assistance Program is a nationwide effort to reduce energy costs by making homes more energy efficient. This can include insulation, repairing or weatherizing windows and doors, inspecting furnaces, replacing refrigerators - and more!
The program assists low-income people with a focus on the elderly, persons with disabilities, and families with children.
Within the Energy Services department, there are actually several programs to assist homeowners, renters, and landlords.
How does the program work?
- Call Quaranta Housing Services and request an application.
- Your completed application is reviewed to determine eligibility.
- You reach the top of the applicant list and an appointment is made for a home energy audit.
- Needed parts and supplies are ordered and work is scheduled.
- Work is completed and a final inspection is done.
