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
