Our weatherization services help create a comfortable and safe environment for our clients to live in, while generating more disposable income from decreased utility and medical expenses. Past clients have found that they are no longer living in cold and drafty houses, leading to fewer hospital visits, and less days work missed.
Long term, the work we do helps enhance the value and equity to our client’s property. Both of these factors can help improve a family’s long term financial situation.
We can complete the work on the entire house or building as long as 66% of the property meets the income eligibility guidelines.

The two organizations providing free weatherization service to low-mod income individuals in Erie County, Neighborhood Housing Service of South Buffalo (NHSB) and Supportive Services Corporation (SSC) want to remind people who may qualify that now is the time to apply before the start of the heating season.
Thousands of Western New York homeowners are now eligible for federal help in protecting their properties from the ravages of the region’s notorious winters, and it’s all thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure bill that Congress passed last year.
Toward the end of 2020, Supportive Services partnered with the Benchmark Group, the
company that owns Lancaster Towers, to work on a “comprehensive” weatherization
project to make the towers more energy-efficient and the tenants more comfortable
during the winter months.
The Weatherization Assistance Program was established in 1976 by the Department of Energy, under Title IV of the Energy Conservation and Protection Act in attempt to cut down the energy usage, create a safe living environment and more disposable income for Low to Moderate Income (LMI) families, and be the foundation of a new industry to create jobs for American workers.
