Story Behind the Curve
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps lower-income residents save fuel and money by improving the energy efficiency and health and safety of their homes. This leaves them more money to pay for food, housing, healthcare, childcare and other necessities. Priority is given to older Vermonters, people with disabilities, families with children, households getting Fuel Assistance and households with high energy bills.
In FY 2016:
- 774 homes were weatherized: 588 single-family homes and 186 multi-unit dwellings
- The average investment per home was $8,467
- The average savings were about 24% of heating costs
