Description
Homes and Community Renewal’s Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC) administers this incentive-based Home Energy Assistance Program funding through New York’s existing Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) network. It supports energy conservation for income-eligible households, reducing fuel and electricity expenses through dwelling evaluations, cost-effective energy-saving measures, and related health and safety improvements.
The program targets housing portfolios with significant energy-assistance needs, including government-assisted housing, public housing, and housing for people with special needs, while also allowing other WAP-eligible building types. HTFC seeks subgrantees with available project pipelines and demonstrated delivery performance. Projects must include major energy-saving measures, and HEAP-funded measures must achieve a savings-to-investment ratio of at least 0.5.
