Health experts release policy roadmap to alleviate the burden of high energy bills

Energy insecurity—the inability to adequately meet basic household energy needs—affects more than a quarter of New York City families, putting them at risk for worse health outcomes. A new policy brief, "Powering Up for Health: Policy Options to Address Energy Insecurity in New York City," authored by public health experts from academia, government, and the nonprofit sector, outlines policy options for local and state governments to address energy insecurity and its related health risks. While federal support is critical, ongoing threats to the limited federal infrastructure to support energy affordability and social benefits make state and local leadership even more important.
