## Summary

**Increasing federal weatherization funding and per-home spending.** This bill reauthorizes the Weatherization Assistance Program and raises the average allowed cost per dwelling from $6,500 to $12,000 to support deeper home energy retrofits and more extensive measures. - Families and households: Homes can receive more comprehensive weatherization because the per-unit allowance rises to $12,000 from $6,500, enabling larger efficiency upgrades per dwelling. - Weatherization providers and workers: The bill guarantees multi-year federal funding, starting at $300 million per year for FY2026–FY2028 and rising to $350 million in FY2030, which supports project work and contractor demand. - Program oversight and eligibility: Adds a formal readiness reporting requirement that must evaluate how enhancement and innovation efforts affect eligibility for the weatherization program, informing future program decisions and eligibility checks. *Authorizes about $1.6 billion in federal funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program across FY2026–FY2030, increasing federal spending.*
