Key Points

  • Congress would extend extra funding for home energy-saving upgrades under the Weatherization Assistance Program through 2030.
  • The bill sets aside $2,100,000 each year from 2026 to 2030 specifically for active duty and reserve military households.
  • It also continues an “innovation and enhancement” pot, but caps it at no more than 6% of the program’s main yearly funding for 2026–2030.
  • For military families, this could mean more chances to get help with home fixes that cut heating and cooling costs, like insulation and sealing air leaks.
  • The bill proposes overall program funding of $350,000,000 per year for 2026–2030, plus the separate $2,100,000 military set-aside each year.
