Home Weatherization / Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)

How it works

Pierce County says funding is available for home electrification through the Washington State Department’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) grant. The page says this support is intended for low- and moderate-income households to upgrade their homes with energy-efficient equipment. Homeowners are told to check eligibility using the income requirements chart on the page before applying.

The page also says the Home Weatherization program is paid for with federal dollars. Pierce County notes that it relies on timely access to those funds to complete the work, and that there may be delays in starting or completing projects while funding is pending.

What the money covers

The page lists weatherization services available to qualifying low-income residents outside the city limits of Tacoma:

• Home assessment
• Insulation for floors, attics, ducts, and walls
• Air sealing
• Heat loss reduction
• Testing all gas appliances
• Furnace repairs
• Carbon monoxide detectors
• Improvements to indoor air quality
• Energy conservation measures

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a homeowner cash amount, reimbursement amount, or match requirement. It also does not say whether work is paid upfront or reimbursed.

How to apply

Pierce County says applicants can apply online today. The page provides an application link and says homeowners should review the income requirements chart before applying.

Timing and deadlines

No closing date or deadline is stated. The page warns that there may be delays in starting or completing projects because the County depends on timely access to funds.

Other notes

The page also highlights a Weatherization Plus Health initiative that combines weatherization with measures that reduce health risks and costs for households affected by asthma, COPD, or other respiratory issues. It mentions a partnership with the Pierce County Health Department for qualified households, but it does not give separate eligibility rules or funding amounts for that initiative.
