Weatherization Assistance Program

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is a free program provided to income-eligible renters and homeowners on Long Island, especially the elderly and disabled, to make their homes more energy-efficient. Potential improvements include insulation, weather stripping, air sealing, boiler/furnace upgrades, and energy-efficient windows and doors. The work is determined by an energy audit conducted by one of our BPI-certified building analysts using a variety of tests and tools that determine the most cost-effective means of reducing energy consumption in the dwelling.

Helps homeowners living on Long Island resources to make repairs and improvements to their homes. CDCLI offers both deferred grants and loans to assist homeowners with home improvement needs. Whether you need to make basic repairs, upgrade an electrical system, have an emergency repair, or remodel your kitchen, we have a program for you!
