Achieving Affordability in an Uncertain Future
Equitable Residential Decarbonization Models that Deliver
Achieving Affordability in an Uncertain Future: Equitable Residential Decarbonization Models that Deliver
hosted by the Building Power Resource Center
How can we deliver affordability for residents today while building equitable decarbonization and electrification programs that are scalable for the future? Leaders are increasingly questioning whether residential building decarbonization and affordability can coexist—or if they are fundamentally at odds. Equitable residential decarbonization and electrification is especially challenging, and we are at a moment when scalable models are essential. This includes reliable funding sources, which are under pressure as states and municipalities face uncertain financial futures.
This lively, in-person panel discussion will explore four distinct program models for equitable residential building decarbonization and electrification, examining their structures, strengths, and key takeaways. We'll also discuss the importance of strong coalitions, co-governance, and effective media strategies in driving success.
Our Models:
- Mobile Home Park organizing and heat pump conversions using union labor in Maine to save residents on monthly utility costs and keep rents affordable.
- Aggregated residential electrification and solar in DC to keep long-term residents in their homes and zero their utility bills.
- Affordable Housing electrification and efficiency in NYC for multifamily buildings.
- Neighborhood-scale decarbonization in Richmond, CA for low-income residents in partnership with labor.
We are excited to be joined by The Honorable Sara Innamorato, County Executive of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to deliver opening remarks.
