American Homes First Act

This bill seeks to bolster the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) by allocating a significant sum of money. Its primary purpose is to provide $1,000,000,000 in additional funding to help low-income households cover their energy costs. To achieve this, the legislation mandates a redirection of funds from existing appropriations. Specifically, it prohibits the Secretary of State and the President from using funds from the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, or the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026, for the "Board of Peace." Instead, these funds are to be transferred to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the LIHEAP program for fiscal year 2026.
