## Summary

**Helps low-income households and eligible property owners make homes and land more resilient to climate-driven hazards.** The bill would create a Department of the Interior grant program to fund dwelling and property adaptations, set resilience standards with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and require tenant protections during projects. - Families and renters: Requires protections for tenants during multifamily upgrades, including comparable housing if displaced, a right to return, and bans on rent increases for at least two years unless pre-approved. - Low-income owners and communities: Provides grants for adaptations for low-income owners, manufactured home communities, and properties with affordability restrictions. Eligibility initially covers households up to 300 percent of the poverty level and allows up to 15 percent of funds for outreach and administration. - States, Tribes, and agencies: Directs the Secretary to stand up the program and issue rules within 180 days and requires NIST to publish resilience and adaptation standards within one year. The program must coordinate with HUD, HHS, EPA, FEMA, and include audits and public performance targets. *Would authorize $250 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2031 and $2 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2028 for implementation, increasing federal spending.*

- Standards and audits for this program: benefit, medium. Within 180 days, the Secretary would issue rules with HUD, HHS, EPA, FEMA, and others to run the program.
