New Hampshire Weatherization Assistance Program

How it works

The State of New Hampshire’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is designed to provide weatherization services to low-income households throughout the state. The program reduces household energy waste by increasing the energy efficiency of a participant’s dwelling while improving health and safety whenever possible. It is administered statewide by the New Hampshire Department of Energy.

What the money covers

The source describes weatherization services generally and says the program can leverage other funding sources. It does not give a simple statewide dollar award in the material I found. The document says WAP funding is from federal grants from the U.S. Department of Energy.

How it works with other programs

The document says NH WAP collaborates with other funding sources to expand what can be done in client homes, including LIHEAP, the Home Energy Assistance program managed for the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission by electric and gas utilities, town welfare office involvement, and some Community Development Block Grant funds in cities.

Timing and administration

The program year typically runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. The state Department of Energy is responsible for statewide oversight of fiscal and program operations and provides technical assistance to subgrantees.
