Description
The Multifamily Weatherization Assistance Program (WAPM) in Pennsylvania is designed to improve the energy efficiency, affordability, and comfort of multifamily residential buildings (five or more units) that house low-income families. The program funds a range of weatherization measures—including air sealing, insulation, and duct improvements—guided by a Department of Energy-compliant energy audit. The goal is to reduce operating costs, enhance health and safety, and maintain affordable housing for vulnerable populations. The program is administered statewide by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), with services delivered through a network of public and nonprofit agencies.
