Home Modifications for the Climate Crisis Act
This bill amends the Older Americans Act to add new home modification services for older individuals (60+). It directly affects older adults by authorizing: (1) air-quality improvements like ventilation upgrades and reducing indoor pollutants from gas appliances; (2) energy-efficient home modifications prioritizing low-emission technologies; and (3) assistance with utility costs through existing programs. The key mechanism expands eligibility to include multi-family dwellings, rental units, and homes occupied by older individuals living with non-older residents. These provisions aim to improve indoor air quality, reduce energy costs, and lower emissions without creating new federal programs.
