气候化援助计划的广泛而快速的扩展使试图实施该计划的州机构中最好和最差。社区事务部正在管理新泽西州目前的6400万美元分配WAP资金，而后者似乎正在努力。
关于DCA的一些批评者抱怨说，自WAP于33年前推出以来，新泽西州对该计划的管理一直困扰着问题。随着该计划的大量刺激资助的扩展，这些问题已被相应地放大。
塞拉俱乐部州长杰夫·蒂特尔（Jeff Tittel），塞拉俱乐部（Jeff Tittel）told theStar-Ledger, a Newark-based newspaper that has been following WAP tribulations in New Jersey. “It became a big problem with big money rather than a little problem with little money.”
Complications part of the turf
根据DCA在几个领域的行政障碍和困惑（从承包商招聘到预算监督到客户评估和项目审计）时，这22个社区机构被委派，以帮助将事情移动到越来越落后于计划。和今年11月。
可以肯定的是，当WAP通过《美国恢复和再投资法》扩展到包括50亿美元的三年预算时，它还包括了新的规定，这些规定使循环的几个州机构都抛弃了：立法者补充说，要求工人被支付为盛行的工资率。但是因为这是许多气候化机构首次不得不处理要求，所以扎根于《戴维斯 - 巴肯法案》这是一项联邦法律，于1931年通过，研究和设定费率的花费比预期的要长。
在压力下进行重新处理
尽管如此，新泽西州的WAP情况仍然是最具挑战性的。根据本月DCA审核的报道，直到7月，DCA指控下的22个社区机构的完成量不到13％。DCA削减了七个机构的资金，理由是他们未能完成至少15％的目标工作量。这些机构又引用了DCA的官僚繁文tape节和不一致的方向，因为它们相对较慢。该州的长期气候化计划经理也已被替换。
DCA审计还暴露了弱财务监督和购买不当的情况，Star-Ledger报告指出. New Jersey was allocated a total of $118.8 million for WAP work to be completed over three years. Its goal is to weatherize 13,381 homes during that period. Nationally, the WAP completion rate is 44%.
Robert Wright, manager of policy, programs, and planning at DCA, agreed that the state’s WAP implementation has been disappointing, but told the paper changes are underway. Which is another way of suggesting that there’s nowhere to go but up.
“Right now we have new management in place,” he said. “We’re looking at this as largely a new start.”

New jersey Wap budget
使用上面文章中提供的错误 - 1.188亿件可环境13,380户房屋 - 每户住宅约80万美元...
I am a contractor working and living in northern New Jersey and I have seen the work that WAP contractors do in homes and apartments. I estimate that the typical job I've seen is about $4000 maximum (leaving aside my criticism of material spec.s and installation methods which makes the final product virtually worthless)
I am all for the government spending money to make US housing more energy efficient, .
However if your numbers above are correct something is seriously wrong. Please confirm that the figures are correct
Re NJ's WAP budget
感谢您对此进行检查。有关新泽西参与WAP的更多信息可以在此处找到：http://www.state.nj.us/recovery/programs/wap.html
The $118.8 million figure (covering the three-year duration of the expanded program) is correct. That includes $22.8 million for training and technical assistance, which would leave about $7,200 per home if the state sticks to its 13,400-home retrofit goal.
Re NJ's WAP budget
我的穿帮,我不工作9 figure amounts much... guess you knew that... Anyway, that is comforting and as you write they are subject to fair wage guidelines (which is nearly Union scale) so what I precieve as a $4000 job would easily become $7200. And by the way I think fair wage is Fair (but thats another subject) Thanks, now I don't have to write my congress man on this one.
WAP Poor Administration
我很高兴他们摆脱了负责DCA，WAP的经理，她是最糟糕的。当这个消息首次发布有关DCA表现不佳的消息时，我告诉我的女儿，他们需要摆脱那个经理，并肯定一周后她被解雇了。我是为数不多的管理公司之一，他们将所有文件汇集在一起，以使我们的建筑物中的低收入居民合格，而且经理总是给我一个艰难的时光。而不是鼓励她不鼓励人们。希望新政府将具有使这一范围成为奥巴马政府目标的精神。
