Better Together: Linking and Leveraging Energy Programs for Low-Income Households

EPA is committed to helping communities benefit from energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE). To facilitate this effort, EPA is developing a series of case studies and webinars to highlight effective efforts by state and local agencies, non-profits, and utilities to bring EE/RE to low-income households.

This 90-minute webinar explored the topic of linking and leveraging EE/RE programs for limited-income households, including the need to coordinate with other energy assistance programs. It presented case studies of organizations that have successfully advanced connections among available programs and funding sources.
