EEFA Guidance on COVID-19 Pandemic Response

The COVID-19 crisis is showing severe short- and long-term impacts on the well-being of under-resourced communities. This crisis is more than a health crisis – it is magnifying the disproportionate burdens of housing, energy, and poverty that marginalized communities face each day.    

Energy Efficiency for All is committed to ensuring that actions to address COVID-19 reflect the specific needs of marginalized communities. In support of this commitment, EEFA has created Pandemic Response Guidance detailing several topics, including:

  • Ensuring access to essential energy and water services;

  • Preventing eviction and preserving affordable housing;

  • Protecting all vulnerable workers;

  • Expanding access to internet and phone services; and

  • Prioritizing remediation of unhealthy housing.

This document and other resources for formulating responses to the crisis are on EEFA’s COVID-19 resources webpage. These resources can be shared with EEFA and NEWHAB partners and others who are working towards an equitable response to COVID-19.
