How long has CSD administered the weatherization program?
The first federal weatherization programs were funded in 1975 to assist low-income families who lacked resources to invest in energy efficiency, to reduce energy costs for low-income families, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety. The U.S. Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program (DOE WAP) was established in 1976.
