Whole-Home Repairs Act of 2025

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create a pilot program within one year that gives grants to state, local, or tribal governments to run home repair programs. Those governments would give grants to lower-income homeowners and loans, which may be forgiven, to small landlords to pay for repairs related to accessibility, safety and livability, and energy and water efficiency. Landlords who take loans would have to meet conditions such as offering current tenants lease extensions and limiting yearly rent increases for at least 3 years. HUD could use up to $30 million from existing lead hazard and healthy homes funds, would fund 2 to 10 organizations per year, and the program would end on October 1, 2031.
