Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)

How it works

AACOG says it partners with local contractors across 12 counties to provide weatherization services at no cost to eligible residents in the Alamo Region. The program is designed to help low-income and fixed-income households save money, increase comfort, and improve home safety through energy conservation solutions.

What the money covers

The Weatherization Assistance Program helps reduce the high cost of energy by installing energy-efficient improvements in homes. AACOG says the program does not cover major home repairs, but it does aim to improve a home’s thermal efficiency and reduce energy use.

Common enhancements listed on the page include:

• Sealing windows and doors with caulking and weather stripping to block drafts
• Closing gaps in the building’s exterior
• Adding insulation in ceilings, walls, and floors
• Sealing air conditioning ducts or replacing outdated heating and cooling systems
• Ensuring gas heating appliances are efficient and safe
• Assessing indoor air quality to mitigate health risks

Amounts and matching

AACOG does not state a cash grant amount or any required match. The key benefit is that services are provided at no cost to eligible residents.
