Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act of 2025
This bill creates a new $30 million annual Weatherization Readiness Fund (2026-2030) to help states fix structural defects in low-income homes before weatherization can be installed. It directly affects low-income households in states receiving Weatherization Assistance Program funds, by requiring states to use these funds to repair hazards that block weatherization work. The bill also raises the maximum per-unit cost limit for fully weatherized homes from $6,500 to $15,000 and adds flexibility for the Secretary to adjust costs based on market conditions. These changes aim to streamline the weatherization process and increase funding efficiency for eligible homes.
