Weatherization Assistance Program
This program was designed to assist low-income households with their cooling or heating bills by providing home energy and efficiency services. After a household is determined to be eligible, a certified Louisiana Weatherization Auditor completes an inspection of the home for energy, health and safety concerns. Work will be done by local licensed and insured contractors at no cost to the occupants. Typical work includes air sealing, attic and/or sidewall insulation, weather-stripping and/or minor repairs associated with the weatherization work. All work receives a thorough Quality Control Inspection by the agency’s Energy Auditor. Households with incomes up to 200% of the poverty level are eligible. Due to limited funding, priority points are awarded to households with members who are elderly, disabled, and/or have children under the age of five. Households with exceptionally high energy bills may also receive priority service. Tenants with landlord approval as well as homeowners are eligible.
LACAP administers the WAP program in partnership with the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency.
