Rewiring America Seeks Funding for Empower+

Residents across the state are struggling to keep up with rising energy bills – and these surging bills are hitting low and moderate-income New Yorkers particularly hard. The state’s Empower+ program, which is designed to help low-income homeowners and renters make energy-related improvements to their homes to help lower energy bills, is at risk of being severely underfunded this budget cycle. Michael Hernandez of Rewiring America talks about the program and the state budget with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
