The following are counties and not-for-profit organizations which receive funds from
DHCR to provide weatherization assistance services to New York State residents.
Weatherization Assistance Providers work within a specific geographic area, called a
service area. The information below includes the name of each provider, their website
address (if they have one) and their service area. Clicking on the name of the provider
will open a new window containing more detailed information.
Weatherization Assistance Providers include
Community-Based Housing Organizations,
county governments, and Native American Tribal organizations. Weatherization services reduce
the amount of energy required to heat and cool homes and provide hot water, thus reducing
energy consumption, while minimizing the impact of higher fuel costs on low-income families.
Weatherization Assistance Providers assist low-income households, with priority given to those
with elderly or handicapped members, and to families with young children.
Weatherization Assistance Providers perform an energy audit of the home or apartment to
identify specific measures to increase energy efficiency. Based on the results of the energy
audit, they may provide some or all of the following services: weatherstripping and caulking
around doors and windows; cleaning, testing, repairs, or replacement of heating systems;
replacement or repair of storm windows; replacement or repair of broken windows and/or
outside doors; addition of insulation to walls or ceilings; and, mitigation of health and
safety concerns, including indoor air quality improvements, correction of ventilation problems
that can lead to mold growth, and identification of lead paint hazards.
Weatherization Services may also include other energy-related improvements such as: water
heater repair/replacement, roof repair/replacement, chimney repairs, lighting fixture
replacement, venting systems, heating distribution system replacement, refrigerator replacement,
installation of GFIC outlets, and electrical service upgrade, where indicated by an energy audit
and an inspection of the unit.
For more information, please contact your local Weatherization Assistance
Provider, or the nearest DHCR Regional Office.
To apply for Weatherization, scroll down to the county that you live in and contact
the provider that serves that county.
