Bill > S3769

This bill, the Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act of 2022, amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to enhance the Weatherization Assistance Program. The key provisions include establishing a Weatherization Readiness Fund to provide funding for repairs to dwelling units occupied by low-income individuals, which will enable the installation of weatherization measures. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum financial assistance per dwelling unit from $6,500 to $12,000, and allows the Secretary to further increase this limit if necessary to achieve the program's objectives. These changes aim to improve the reach and effectiveness of the Weatherization Assistance Program in helping low-income households reduce their energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
