President Joe Biden revealed Wednesday how his administration is helping Americans deal with higher energy prices.
The first initiative allocates $4.5 billion to states, territories and tribes to cover heating costs and unpaid utility bills. The money can also be used for families to make"cost-effective home energy repairs to lower their heating and cooling bills."
The Biden administration notes that the Inflation Reduction Act offers incentives for people who are making their homes more energy efficient. The nonprofit Rewiring America has an Inflation Reduction Act Calculator that shows people what projects can save them money. Vice President Kamala Harris will be highlighting the savings being offered during an event in Boston on Wednesday.
