About Housing and Energy Services

Housing and Energy Services

Housing and Energy Services administers the Weatherization Assistance Program – a program that helps low-income households lower their utility bills by making homes more energy efficient.  As funds are available, Housing and Energy Services operates other programs for the home, such as EMPOWER+.

Our office is located at 588 Morrison Street, Watertown.  We are open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
