Home Modifications for the Climate Crisis Act

This bill changes the Older Americans Act of 1965 to expand what home modification services funded under the law can be used for. Services could provide older people's homes with air-quality monitors and improvements, such as ventilation upgrades, home electrification, and integrated pest management. Services could also help older people modify homes for cooling, heating, air quality, and energy efficiency, giving priority to technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and indoor pollution. Services could help older people get help paying utility costs through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance program or other federal energy programs. The bill also states that these services cover multi-family dwellings, rental homes, and homes where an older person lives with a younger resident.
