Increased Funding and Flexibility for Low-Income Home Weatherization Program.

This law significantly boosts financial aid for low-income citizens to improve their homes' energy efficiency. It establishes a new fund to cover essential structural repairs, addressing defects that previously blocked weatherization work. Crucially, the maximum amount allocated per dwelling unit for weatherization is nearly doubled, rising from $6,500 to $12,000, ensuring more thorough and effective upgrades.
Key points
Creation of a "Weatherization Readiness Fund" to pay for necessary structural repairs (like fixing roofs or hazards) that must be completed before energy efficiency measures can be installed.
The maximum financial assistance limit for weatherizing a single home is raised from $6,500 to $12,000 to reflect current construction costs.
Allows the Secretary to further increase the spending limit per home if market conditions necessitate higher costs to complete the work.
