Overview
NYS Weatherization Assistance providers are community-based not-for-profit organizations, community action agencies, counties, and units of local government who provide essential weatherization activities that are aligned with New York State’s Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
Each of New York State’s 62 counties is covered by one or more providers. To be eligible, a provider must demonstrate the capacity to administer the Weatherization Assistance Program and have history of service to the community. Service providers who have demonstrated this capacity are selected through an annual State planning process. These selected providers then enter a contract with the State and are referred to as NYS WAP Subgrantees. Service providers who have demonstrated this capacity are selected through an annual State planning process.
