Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2023

The Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2023 creates a federal grant program to help air pollution control agencies establish clean air centers and provide free air filtration units to low-income households with vulnerable members during wildfire smoke events. It directly affects households in low-income communities that include individuals at high risk from wildfire smoke due to health conditions, disability, or age. The program requires agencies to partner with community organizations, set up accessible clean air centers in smoke-prone areas, distribute at least 1,000 free air filtration units per program (with one replacement per unit), and collect usage data through surveys. The bill authorizes $30 million over three years for these grants, with a requirement for agencies to report program outcomes to Congress within three years.
