Sustainable Future Program

Renewing the Sustainable Future Program will lower the financial burden on communities of color and low-income because the combustion of oil and gas is directly linked to increased rates of asthma and respiratory illness, which disproportionately impact communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. It also addresses the environmental hazards that make residents sick in the first place. And it’s a proven ROI – an economic engine, projected to support 7,400 new, good-paying jobs and generate $1.5 billion in economic activity. The Sustainable Future Program provides the weatherization and renewable infrastructure necessary to decouple family budgets from volatile, spiking gas prices that are projected to rise through 2026.
