What it is
The Home Weatherization Assistance Program makes free energy-efficiency improvements to your home — insulation, air sealing, and furnace repair or replacement — permanently cutting your utility bills rather than helping with a single payment.
The emergency track
If your furnace or boiler fails, the same application can be expedited: it’s submitted marked “emergency” and moves ahead of the regular queue. Combine with Emergency HEAP if you also have a shut-off notice.
How Gesher helps
Weatherization asks for more documentation than most programs (a full 12 months of income). We’ll assemble the package, coordinate the home inspection, and stack it with HEAP, PIPP and EPP — the four programs are designed to work together.
