Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development · State program
No-cost weatherization services; no dollar cap stated.
Maryland’s Weatherization Assistance Program gives income-eligible homeowners and renters no-cost energy-conservation work that also addresses health and safety issues. The page emphasizes reduced heating and cooling costs; the site does not present it as a disaster-hardening grant, but many measures also improve resistance to wind, heat, and moisture.
Program details
How it works
Maryland’s Weatherization Assistance Program is a statewide, federally funded program run by DHCD. It assists income-eligible homeowners and renters by reducing heating and cooling costs through energy-conservation measures while also addressing health and safety issues in homes.
What the work can include
The official page explains that WAP focuses on reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool homes, supply hot water, and provide lighting. The state weatherization page notes typical audit recommendations such as:
- Air sealing
- Insulation
- Moisture control
- HVAC and ductwork upgrades
- Energy efficiency upgrades
- Energy conservation measures
How it works after you apply
DHCD says eligible households are screened for applicable programs. If eligible, the household receives an assigned contractor, can schedule an in-home energy assessment, and the contractor completes the recommended work at no cost.
Who it is coordinated with
DHCD’s homeowner energy-grant page says eligible households can be screened for WAP together with other programs through the one-stop-shop application.
Timing and deadlines
The WAP page does not give a single statewide application deadline on the snippet available here. DHCD says the program is ongoing, and services are delivered through local weatherization agencies.
