The resolution proposes the establishment of a special legislative commission in Rhode Island to study and provide recommendations for the creation of a statewide whole-home repairs program. The commission will consist of ten members and is tasked with conducting a comprehensive study of existing home repair programs and identifying funding resources to address gaps in support for low and moderate-income residents.
The commission's focus will include coordinating resources for essential repairs, such as roofing, electrical systems, and energy efficiency upgrades, to ensure homes are safe and habitable. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Speaker of the House on or before January 5, 2026, and will expire on March 5, 2026.
