R2E2 and Four Localities to Deliver Energy-Saving Home Upgrades in Underserved Communities
The Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (R2E2) initiative is announcing new partnerships with four communities to bring transformative energy efficiency upgrades to affordable housing in historically underserved communities.
The partnerships will support local and community leaders in designing and scaling energy programs that reduce utility bills, cut emissions, improve residents’ health, and create local jobs.
The work will lead to upgrades like heat pump installations, insulation, and ventilation improvements. The partners will identify funding sources, engage residents in program design, and support workforce development efforts. The four cities reflect a range of geographies, populations, and housing needs. The partnerships mark the next phase of R2E2’s work, building on three years of support for municipalities and community-based organizations.
