Weatherization Assistance Program (West Virginia)
Last updated August 2026
The Weatherization Assistance Program, or WAP, lowers your energy bills by making your home more energy efficient. It is run by the Community Advancement and Development division of the West Virginia Department of Economic Development, which funds local non-profit Community Action Agencies to do the work.
The income line is generous. Households qualify if their income is at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. As an example, a household of four qualifies with an annual income up to $64,300.
The help is a home upgrade, not a check. The program improves the energy efficiency of your dwelling and can add renewable energy systems or technologies. The goal is a warmer, cheaper-to-run home year-round.
Some households move up the list. Priority goes to homes with a high energy burden or high energy use, and to homes that include a member age 60 or older, a person with a disability, or a child under 18.
You work through the local Community Action Agency that serves your county. That agency handles the inspection and the work, and it can tell you what your specific home needs.
The quickest way to start is online. Apply through the state portal at mylitt.com, then your local agency picks up your application from there. Renters can often qualify too, so ask your local Community Action Agency how it works for your home.
