Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program Establishment Act

Key claim: HR4733 would establish a Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program to help low-income households pay water bills.

Abstract

(HR4733 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-12-01): Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.

Why this matters

Water affordability sits alongside rent and energy costs as a core housing-cost burden for low-income renters and homeowners, and unpaid water bills can trigger shutoffs, liens, and even displacement. Codifying LIHWAP as a permanent program would give tenants and owner-occupants an ongoing utility-assistance backstop comparable to LIHEAP, with indirect effects on landlords who bill water through and on housing stability more broadly.
