In May, Bennet joined Senators Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Susan Collins (R-M.E.), and 17 of their Senate colleagues in a letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright requesting that there be no delay in this funding. “ For many Colorado families struggling with high energy costs, the Weatherization Assistance Program helps keep utility bills affordable by ensuring their homes are prepared for Colorado’s weather. This funding will boost residential energy efficiency across the state, improve energy security, and save hundreds of dollars for Colorado families,” said Bennet. “I am glad to see this funding go to Colorado and look forward to its implementation.” Families receiving Weatherization Assistance Program funding save an average of $372 on their annual utility bills. The program helps eligible households reduce energy costs while improving the safety and efficiency of their homes, making it especially important as utility costs continue to rise and Colorado experiences more frequent extreme weather. ### Contact Info 261 Russell Senate Building Washington, DC 20510 Phone: 202-224-5852 Fax: 202-228-5097 View State Offices Resources Write to Michael Get Help with a Federal Agency Visiting DC Investing in Colorado Map ©2026 U.S. Senate.
