Weatherization Assistance Program Improvements Act of 2025

This bill updates the federal Weatherization Assistance Program to help more low‑income families make their homes energy‑efficient. It creates a Weatherization Readiness Fund so states can pay for basic repairs—like fixing hazards or structural problems—that must be addressed before insulation or other energy upgrades can be safely installed. It authorizes $30 million per year for these repairs from 2026 through 2030.

It also adjusts spending rules to reflect real‑world costs. The bill updates the cap on average cost per home, counts only fully weatherized homes in that average, raises a related spending limit from $3,000 to $6,000, and lets the Secretary raise the per‑home limit when market prices require it.

• Who is affected: Low‑income households that need repairs before getting energy‑saving upgrades; state weatherization programs that carry out the work.
• What changes: New readiness repair funding; updated cost rules; higher related spending cap; authority to lift per‑home limits when needed.
• When: Repair funding is authorized for fiscal years 2026–2030.
