"A Whole Home Approach" Green Infrastructure, Energy Efficiency, Broadband, Home Ownership Access and Affordability for Everyone Pilots, Projects and & Programs Our community-led 'Whole Home Approach' focuses on rehabilitating houses in poor condition, aiding seniors to age in place, and ensuring homes are lead-free and energy efficient. One of our key objectives is to collaborate with landlords to enhance the condition and quality of properties, while also creating affordable home ownership opportunities. Beyond direct interventions, we also advocate for fair energy policies, engaging with the Public Service Commission and intervening in rate cases to address the energy burden on low-income households. This advocacy work bridges the gap between our direct actions and broader systemic change, creating a more equitable energy landscape for our community.
