This bill expands the federal Weatherization Assistance Program to specifically support active duty and reserve military households in improving home energy efficiency. The legislation allocates $2.1 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 dedicated exclusively to helping military families with weatherization improvements like insulation, heating system upgrades, and other energy-saving home modifications. Additionally, the bill authorizes up to 6 percent of general weatherization program funding (approximately $21 million annually) for program enhancements and innovation efforts. The overall authorization for the weatherization program is set at $350 million per year for the same five-year period. This targeted approach recognizes military families' unique service and aims to reduce their home energy costs while supporting broader energy conservation goals.
