TDHCA Awards $7.6 Million for Weatherization Contracts

(AUSTIN) — The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) has announced the allocation of approximately $7.6 million for weatherization contracts to 21 subgrantees which collectively cover all 254 counties throughout the state. The funding is made available through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) from the US Department of Energy (DOE), which allows for the installation of energy saving materials, such as caulking, weather-stripping, ceiling, wall and floor insulation, and the repair or replacement of energy inefficient heating and cooling systems to help low-income households control their energy costs.

“TDHCA’s Weatherization Program is a crucial instrument in helping low-income Texans permanently reduce energy bills,” said Bobby Wilkinson, TDHCA’s executive director. “Since its inception, WAP has invested millions of dollars to improve the homes and lives of the elderly, those with disabilities, and families with young children.”

The following is the list of subgrantees that will serve as 2025-26 WAP providers along with their respective allocation amounts:

WAP funds are made available through the U.S. Department of Energy. Eligibility is calculated at 200% of Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.
