Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act of 2023
This bill increases funding limits for the Weatherization Assistance Program and creates a new fund to address structural barriers in homes. It establishes a "Weatherization Readiness Fund" to help states fix structural defects in low-income homes (identified during program inspections) before weatherization measures can be installed. The bill raises the maximum per-unit cost limit for weatherization from $6,500 to $12,000 and adds a provision allowing the Secretary to adjust this limit based on market conditions. These changes directly affect low-income households seeking home energy upgrades and state agencies administering the program.
