Bill > HR7042

This bill, titled the "Heroes Home Energy Savings Act," aims to expand the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) to specifically benefit active duty and reserve military households. The WAP is a government program designed to help low-income households reduce their energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of their homes. This legislation proposes to allocate a specific amount of funding, $2,100,000 annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030, from the overall WAP budget to carry out enhancements and innovations related to weatherization for military families. Additionally, the bill extends the authorization of appropriations for the WAP through fiscal year 2030, with a total annual appropriation of $350,000,000 for the program, and earmarks the additional $2,100,000 specifically for the military household initiative.
