Which program provides grants to improve energy efficiency in low-income households?

• A. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
• B. Unemployment Insurance
• C. Medicare
• D. Weatherization Assistance Program

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is programs that directly improve a home’s energy efficiency for people with low incomes. The Weatherization Assistance Program is designed to do just that. It helps eligible households reduce energy use by funding weatherization work—things like adding insulation, sealing air leaks, upgrading insulation in ducts, and sometimes improving heating and cooling systems. These upgrades lower utility bills and make homes safer and more comfortable.

Other options address different needs: LIHEAP helps with paying energy bills, rather than funding the improvements themselves; Unemployment Insurance provides income support during job loss; Medicare offers health coverage. So the one that focuses on making the home more energy-efficient through weatherization is the Weatherization Assistance Program.
