The recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), along with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) from last year, provide more than $25 billion for programs and tax incentives to improve the energy efficiency of, electrify, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to existing homes.

This brief summarizes programs that will or could provide significant resources for energy efficiency retrofits for existing single family and multifamily homes.
