ICAST Partners with Pennsylvania for Multifamily Weatherization Program
ICAST recently signed a contract with Pennsylvania to implement the state’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) for multifamily communities across the state. WAP is a federal program, administered individually by states and their chosen partners, dedicated to lowering energy costs for low-income households while ensuring their health and safety.
ICAST will collaborate with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to provide upgrades such as high-efficiency heat pumps, insulation, ventilation systems, and other measures that make homes more weatherproof and energy-efficient.
WAP is a critical program for all multifamily affordable housing stakeholders. For property owners and managers, WAP funding provides a cost-effective way to keep subsidized housing in good standing for programs such as Section 8 and reduce operating costs for common areas. For tenants, WAP results in lower energy bills (a key factor for the economically disadvantaged who rely on affordable housing) and more comfortable and healthy homes.
We are a trusted multifamily WAP implementer in several states, including New Mexico, Connecticut, Maine, Tennessee, and now, Pennsylvania. Through WAP, we can bring our innovative one-stop-shop approach to more communities across the country while also braiding WAP funds with other sources we use to do our work, allowing us to access even deeper retrofits and savings for the communities we serve. We look forward to bringing healthier homes, energy efficiency, and reduced utility bills to the Keystone State!
