Military families and other households would get more help making homes energy efficient.

This bill would set aside new money for a program that helps people make their homes more energy efficient. It would also set aside $2.1 million each year specifically for active duty and reserve military families to get these services. The program would receive continued funding through the government's budget year 2030.

What Would Change

Currently, the Weatherization Assistance Program does not have specific funding authorized for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030, nor does it have a dedicated annual amount for military families. If this bill passes, the program would receive $350 million annually from 2026 to 2030, plus $2.1 million specifically set aside each year for active duty and reserve military households.

Key Provisions

Would set aside $350 million each year for the Weatherization Assistance Program from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030.
Would dedicate $2.1 million each year for active duty and reserve military households within the Weatherization Assistance Program from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030.
