The WAP is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD).
The WAP program offers energy conservation and health and safety measures that include but are not limited to:
- heating safety and efficiency checks, heating system repairs and/or replacement
- sidewall insulation installed using the dense-pack method where applicable
- attic insulation installed to program specifications
