Georgia Weatherization Assistance Program?
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) provides grants to states, territories, and some Indian tribes to improve the energy efficiency of low-income people’s houses. These governments, in turn, enter into contracts with local governments and philanthropic organizations to provide weatherization services to persons in need, utilizing the most latest technologies for domestic energy efficiency improvements.
