The resolution proposes the establishment of a twelve-member special legislative commission in Rhode Island tasked with conducting a comprehensive study and providing recommendations for the creation of a statewide whole-home repairs program. The commission will draw on existing programs and suggest funding resources to address gaps in support for homeowners. It aims to assist low- and moderate-income residents who face challenges with housing affordability and maintenance issues.

The commission will consist of members from both the House and Senate, as well as representatives from various housing and energy organizations. It is expected to report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by January 5, 2026, with the commission set to expire on March 5, 2026. The resolution highlights the need for a coordinated approach to home repairs, addressing barriers due to the fragmented nature of available resources and programs.
