Weatherization

HCC's Weatherization Assistance Program

HCC's Weatherization Assistance Program improves living conditions and helps conserve energy by installing energy-efficient systems in low-income buildings. In turn, tenants and owners spend less money on electric, gas and heating bills. Building owners cannot request a rent increase for improvements completed through the Weatherization Assistance Program.

 

HCC weatherizes income-eligible buildings on the west-side of Manhattan from 14th Street to 110th Street. Since 1979, HCC has weatherized thousands of apartments in the Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Manhattan Valley and Upper West Side communities.

​

Typical weatherization measures may include, but are not limited to, heating system replacement or upgrade, roof insulation, pipe insulation, repair/replace defective windows and/or doors, energy-efficient replacement refrigerators, energy saving lighting, and health and safety measures such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
