Heating and Cooling Relief Act aims to expand heating and cooling assistance for low-income households.

The Heating and Cooling Relief Act amends the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 to enhance heating and cooling assistance for low-income households. It prioritizes reducing energy burdens for households with the lowest incomes and aims to ensure no household spends more than 3% of its income on home energy. The bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on best practices for states to pay for home energy payment arrearages.
