Help Solve the Next Big Energy Challenge:
Healthy Energy Improvements for Rental Housing
a vision2action sustainability symposium

Due to the Recession, foreclosures, and lifestyle choices, more people are renting their homes than ever. Yet rental properties can be poorly insulated or maintained, leading to high energy bills and poor indoor air quality. This hits low-moderate income families especially hard, including elderly people and families with children who can least afford the financial and health burden this creates.
To tackle this issue, a team of local stakeholders has come together to propose a market-based solution with incentives for landlords and renters to make healthy, energy efficient homes more affordable for more people.
Join in a strategic conversation with landlords and renters, construction and energy companies, local utilities as well as housing advocates and public health officials, and refine and implement the vision.
