With funds from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Texas Weatherization Assistance Program operates the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). By installing weatherization materials and providing education to low-income customers, the Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to help them reduce their energy costs. The WAP is being administered by two sub-recipients, which collectively cover all 254 counties of the state, and it is designed to help low-income households to reduce their energy costs through energy efficiency measures. See the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for more. Also works with the Texas Utility Assistance Program
