GAP Fund
Improving energy efficiency is the quickest, cheapest, and most equitable path to reducing energy bills.
Investing $200 million in the Green Affordable Pre-Electrification (GAP) Fund will provide technical assistance and financial support for affordable housing in need of a wide-range of currently unfunded retrofits that prevent families from participating in energy efficiency programs. The GAP Fund will help address deferred maintenance issues and eliminate legacy environmental hazards like lead, mold, old roofs, and poor ventilation.
By eliminating the overlapping physical and economic structural barriers to electrification, the GAP Fund is an essential first step to ensuring vulnerable New Yorkers have access to healthy and affordable electrified homes.
