New Grants Would Help Build Affordable, Energy-Efficient Homes for Low-Income Families
This bill would create a new grant competition run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These grants would help organizations build or fix up homes for families earning less than half of their area's typical income. The goal is to make these homes more affordable, energy-efficient, and accessible for people with disabilities.
Currently, there's no specific federal grant program for building affordable, energy-efficient homes for low-income families. This bill would create such a program, offering grants to organizations that develop or rehabilitate homes with a focus on affordability, energy efficiency, and accessibility for households earning up to 50% of the area's median income. It would also require a study on the long-term savings from these new homes.
