As most of your know, funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) in New York is in jeopardy this year.
WAP is included in both the Senate and Assembly one-house budgets—a sign that leaders know how critical this program is for New Yorkers.
Now, the final step: we need the Governor and Legislature to work together to secure WAP funding in the final budget.
For families we serve, WAP means lower energy bills, safer homes, and the ability to stay warm this winter.
We urge Governor Kathy Hochul, E. Heastie Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Senator Brian Kavanagh B. Rosenthal Roxanne Persaud Maritza Davila to work together and make this happen.
