About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs DC Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) in its Washington, DC research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners and renters; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

DOEE's federally funded Weatherization Assistance Program installs energy-efficiency measures in the homes of income-eligible District residents at no cost. Typical measures include insulation, duct sealing, HVAC repair or replacement, air infiltration mitigation, roof repair, mold remediation, and ENERGY STAR appliances. Households qualify at or below 60% of State Median Income (FY26: $61,841 for 1 person, $118,926 for 4).

Federal average cost per unit is roughly $6,500-$25,000 depending on scope; DC homes average toward the higher end due to labor costs.
