Fix Moldy Housing Act
The Fix Moldy Housing Act (HR 1104) directs the EPA to study indoor mold risks and develop nonbinding national standards for assessment and remediation by 2027. It creates grant programs for state and tribal governments to establish mold-remediation licensing systems (Section 4) and fund mold cleanup in public buildings (like schools) and low-income private homes (Section 5), with $50 million annually allocated for 2025-2029. Grants prioritize low-income households and areas prone to mold (e.g., high-humidity regions), prohibit use for high-income housing, and cover temporary housing costs for severely impacted residents without insurance. The bill requires states to implement licensing programs as a condition of receiving funds and limits federal funding to 60% of eligible costs.
