Description
This program provides funding to existing Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) subgrantees in New York State to deliver energy efficiency and weatherization services to eligible low-income households.

Subgrantees are responsible for outreach, income verification, energy evaluation, installation of cost-effective energy-saving measures, health and safety mitigation, record keeping, reporting, and fuel usage monitoring. The program emphasizes timely expenditure of funds, measurable energy savings, and compliance with all program rules and regulations.
