Show full summary
  • Active duty and reserve military households: would get tailored weatherization help backed by a dedicated $2.1 million each year for 2026–2030 to support services and upgrades aimed at those families.
  • Weatherization program administrators and grantees: would receive a new annual authorization of $350 million for WAP enhancements and innovation, alongside the $2.1 million directed at military households, changing how some WAP funds are allocated.
  • Funding rules and timing: would limit use of the specified WAP pool so no more than 6% may be used for these enhancements and would extend the program provisions through 2030.

*Would increase federal spending by about $352.1 million per year for FY2026–2030 due to the new annual authorizations.*

More weather help for low-income and military

This bill would authorize $350 million per year for the Weatherization Assistance Program for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. It would also set aside $2.1 million per year to carry out targeted weatherization activities for active duty and reserve military households. At the same time, it would limit each year to 6% the share of certain WAP funds (section 422(3)(A)) that can be used for those enhancement activities, excluding amounts for Department of Energy headquarters training or technical assistance. The bill would also change a date in the program from 2025 to 2030 so these rules apply through 2030.
