        Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), Home Energy Assistance (HEA), Building Weatherization Program (BWP)

    This three-part program is designed to assist low-income households by improving the safety and comfort of the home, while also focusing on energy reduction, reducing household energy costs. The Agency will conduct a comprehensive Energy Audit to determine cost effective ways of reducing energy waste, as well as a follow-up inspection once the work has been completed.

    Clients can apply for these programs using the Fuel Assistance and Electric Assistance applications. Priority is extended to elderly, disabled, families with children under 6 years old and/or households with high energy burdens. Services are funded with a combination of both federally and locally funded program resources.

    The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year. To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.

    You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

    *Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
    These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
