Our network has so much to learn from one another and we’d love to learn from you!

NASCSP invites you to share your expertise at our 2027 Winter Training Conference, February 17–19 in Washington, DC.

This year’s theme, “United for Impact: Purpose in Practice,” celebrates our shared commitment to strengthening energy and economic security for low-income individuals and families.

Do you have a practical strategy, promising practice, or lesson learned that could support colleagues in their work? We welcome session proposals focused on CSBG, WAP, and topics relevant to both programs.

Whether you work at the state or local level, provide training, develop policy, or bring lived experience, we encourage you to add your perspective to the conversation.

Submit by Monday, November 9, at 12 p.m. ET:

What does weatherization mean for a household budget?

On average, households save $372 a year in energy costs after weatherization. Those savings leave more room in the budget for other everyday needs.

As we recognize 50 years of the Weatherization Assistance Program, household savings remain central to its impact.

Bring these savings into your outreach. Download NASCSP’s social graphics and educational flyer:

An energy bill doesn’t affect every household’s budget the same way. For households with low incomes, energy costs account for 14% of income, compared with 3% for higher-income households. Weatherization helps reduce that burden through home improvements that save energy.

October is Energy Action Month! This year, NASCSP is celebrating 50 years of the Weatherization Assistance Program and the people who make its work possible.

Weatherization helps households spend less on energy and enjoy more comfortable homes. Throughout October, we’ll highlight the program’s impact—from household savings to local jobs—as we count down to Weatherization Day on October 30.
