WX for Landlords
At the heart of our Weatherization Program lies an essential goal: helping low-income Vermonters pay for and afford their utilities. We believe that everyone deserves a warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient home. Landlords, whether they own single or multi-unit properties, may be eligible for free weatherization services, contingent upon their tenants' eligibility.
Benefits for Landlords and Tenants
