Absolutely, they can, but there's a catch. It’s not automatic, but low-income seniors may qualify for free window replacement through federal weatherization programs.
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) helps income-qualified households, including seniors, replace drafty windows at no cost.
To be eligible, household income must generally be below about 200% of the federal poverty level, and seniors (usually 60+) are often prioritized .
Here's how to check if this year’s still on the table:
Contact your state or local weatherization office (search “WAP + your state”).
Provide income proof, and you likely qualify.
Get on their list, which may have a wait, but seniors usually get priority.
Yes, seniors can still get free window replacement, as long as you meet the low-income requirements and apply through the WAP in your area this year.
