What is Texas Weatherization Assistance Program?
The Texas Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) assists with the weatherization of the homes of low-income elderly and disabled adults and families. The program is administered through contracts with an established network of 21 non-profit agencies and local governments experienced in providing weatherization services. WAP services are available in all 254 counties. Applicants must meet low-income eligibility guidelines based on established Federal poverty guidelines. Activities include caulking; weatherstripping; adding ceiling, wall, and floor insulation; patching holes in the building envelope; duct work, and other related activities to reduce home energy costs and increase home energy efficiency.
