what Mr Bigs is referring to may be called a "section 504" loan or grant program. This looks like info on the program in NY:

they are pretty income sensitive so the senior has to be very low income, and these are "rural" grants, so I don't think Brooklyn will count. There could be other programs for weatherization though, so it is worth looking around, since states or utilities may offer assistance.
