Weatherization Enhancement and Readiness Act of 2025
More Weatherization Aid and Pre-Repair Help for Low-Income Homes
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Raises the max spending per low-income home for energy-saving upgrades from $6,500 to $12,000, which can help pay for insulation, air sealing, and other fixes that lower bills
- Creates a new readiness program to fix problems like roof leaks, unsafe wiring, plumbing issues, and mold so homes aren’t turned away from weatherization work
- Provides $50 million each year from 2026 to 2030 for these pre-repairs, with grants to states and tribal organizations. These fixes don’t have to prove they pay for themselves
- Extends the main federal home weatherization program through 2030, keeping help available for low-income families nationwide
- Makes it easier for homes that got earlier help to qualify again when needed, and removes coverage for installing renewable systems like rooftop solar under this program
