Weatherization Assistance Program

How it works

The City’s Weatherization Assistance Program is modeled after the federal weatherization program. It is designed to help the city’s low- to moderate-income utility customers lower electric usage and costs through energy audits, weatherization retrofits, and customer education.

What the service covers

The official page says the program starts with a whole-house energy assessment at no cost to the customer to identify the most cost-effective improvements. The page lists three major improvement areas:

• Reducing excessive air infiltration
• Reducing heating and cooling loss through attics, walls, and floors
• Evaluating heating and cooling equipment

The city also says improving indoor air quality and health safety are part of the assessment.

What it is not

The city explicitly says this is not a remodeling, maintenance, or home rehabilitation program.

What homeowners should know

The page does not state a dollar amount, reimbursement structure, or application deadline. It also does not say that the program is limited to fire, wind, or flood hazards; it is an energy-efficiency program rather than a direct disaster-hardening grant.
