WHAT IS THE WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM?
The North Carolina Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to deliver energy efficiency service to low-income households.
WHO BENEFITS FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM?
The program targets families with incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (see chart below for details). Households receiving TANF, and households that include at least one member who receives SSI are automatically eligible regardless of household income. The Weatherization Program prioritizes eligible families, serving the elderly, people with disabilities and families with children first. Over 3,500 households are served annually at an average cost of approximately $2,500 per household for material and labor.
