Description
Climate action must work for everyone—especially households that face the highest energy burdens and the greatest health risks from poor housing conditions and extreme temperatures. This action focuses on identifying and aligning incentive programs that support comprehensive upgrades (not just single measures) for income-qualified housing units. “Whole-home” improvements—weatherization, ventilation, efficient heating/cooling, and health and safety fixes—can reduce utility costs, improve comfort, and address issues like moisture or indoor air pollutants. Success looks like more income-qualified homes completing comprehensive upgrade packages, reduced energy burden for residents, improved indoor health outcomes, and equitable access to the benefits of building decarbonization.
