Weatherization Assistance Program

How it works

MaineHousing’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a statewide weatherization service delivered through local community action agencies. The official guidance lists Aroostook County Action Program as the community action agency that serves Hancock and Washington counties.

What the money covers

The guidance says community action agencies provide weatherization services to households in their service areas, and the MPUC consumer page says MaineHousing’s Weatherization Program provides grants to low-income homeowners and renters to reduce energy costs by improving home energy efficiency. That page lists weatherization improvements such as insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, and some safety-related repairs.

How it works for homeowners

The homeowner generally works through the local Community Action Agency rather than applying to the state directly.

Timing and deadlines

The guidance page does not state a deadline for Hancock County households, but it identifies Hancock as an active service area in the current program materials.
