New York State Weatherization Program


The NYS Weatherization Assistance Program provides services to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel costs for low-income families.  Weatherization Assistance Providers include Community-Based Housing Organizations, county governments, and Native American Tribal organizations. Weatherization services reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool homes and provide hot water.  Weatherization Assistance Providers assist low-income households, with priority given to those with elderly or handicapped members, and to families with young children.
