Wheelchair user, front door drafts, can’t reach thermostat. Any NY weatherization that includes accessibility upgrades?
WAP-NY’s Health & Safety budget funds ramps, wider doors, and low thermostats if mobility is documented. My neighbor with MS got a zero-threshold entry and smart thermostat last spring alongside insulation. Need doctor letter on wheelchair use, current door measurements, and income. The portal has an accessibility addendum: https://www.utilityassistance.org/ny/wap-ny/ – audit included occupational therapist consult. Ramp poured in one day, insulation blown next. Bill dropped 40% and she controls heat from bed.
