Just Solutions’ latest brief analyzes two Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) programs that provide targeted investments in housing, the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) and Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). This brief also examines four innovative model policies from California, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania that are filling the gaps in federal funding. The analysis concludes that the two programs alone are still not sufficient for meeting the needs of housing and climate justice. This brief provides recommendations on ways to improve GRRP and WAP by enhancing partnerships and inclusive outreach, centering tenants in the process, and
tailoring technical assistance.
