The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is in jeopardy. WAP helps create healthier homes, lowers energy costs, and supports skilled workers serving communities in every region of the state. Losing this funding would have real consequences for vulnerable households and the workforce that delivers these critical services.

Governor Kathy Hochul, New Yorkers are counting on you. The Legislature has made its support for WAP clear—include WAP funding in the final State Budget.

New Yorkers cannot afford to lose this program.

Assemblymember Jonathan Jacobson Karl Brabenec

The message from the NYS Assembly Upstate Caucus is clear: the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) must be funded in the final State Budget.

We thank the Caucus members who have made WAP a budget priority and stand up for the communities, workers, seniors, and households across New York that depend on WAP every day. They recognize what is at stake if this funding is not included—families struggling with unaffordable utility bills, skilled workers losing jobs, and vulnerable households losing access to critical energy efficiency services.

Now the focus turns to Governor Kathy Hochul.

Governor Hochul: include WAP funding in the final budget and protect one of New York’s most effective energy affordability programs.

New Yorkers are counting on you.
