The MassGREEN Initiative Is Focused on Jobs in Weatherization.

A $64 million stimulus program to weatherize Connecticut homes is picking up after a slow start.

The Weatherization Assistance Program is ranked 9th out of approximately 200 federal programs in the number of direct jobs funded by the Recovery Act for the quarter beginning July 1, 2010 and ending September 30, 2010.

The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) reached an important milestone in June and weatherized over 30,000 homes with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, exceeding goals set for the Program by the Department of Energy (DOE).

The NASCSP WAP Funding Survey is the only comprehensive measure of all funds, including non-DOE funds, that are spent in the Program.
