CASEWV crews service Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, and Summers counties with efficient weatherization improvements.  Low income persons often spend 3 times the national average for energy, and the weatherization program invests in homes to alleviate the energy consumption burden of the area. Weatherization is a partnership between the Weatherization program and the client. Clients will be educated in the proper maintenance of installed Weatherization materials and how this maintenance affects comfort and energy consumption.

CASEWV Weatherization is proud to serve in Mercer, Monroe, Raleigh, and Summers Counties.

Here are our income eligibility guidelines:

To qualify for the West Virginia Weatherization Assistance Program (WV WAP), applicants must meet specific criteria regarding income, household composition, and the dwelling itself. Household income must be at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, with certain income types excluded and proof of the prior year's income required. Some households, like those receiving SSI or TANF, may be categorically eligible. The dwelling must be structurally sound for weatherization, with both homeowners and renters (with landlord permission). Due to high demand, priority for services is given to households with elderly members, persons with disabilities, children, high energy users, or those with a high energy burden.
