Weatherization Assistance Program

Weatherization Assistance Program At Norwescap, we recognize the vital role of the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) in enhancing the living conditions of low-income households across Warren, Sussex, and Hunterdon counties. Dedicated to increasing the safety, comfort, and energy efficiency of homes, our program specifically addresses the unique challenges of our service area, such as rural accessibility, radon abatement, and overcoming language barriers.
