Summary

Amends the Home Energy Assistance Act of 1980 to require that the allotment of home energy grant funds be based on the number of heating and cooling degree days (currently, the number of heating degree days squared) multiplied by the number of low-income households. Authorizes States to make grants to eligible households to meet the rising costs of cooling.
