Governor Hochul,
please make a massive investment in better buildings!

On October 20, 2021 over two hundred organizations from across New York sent a letter to New York Governor Kathy Hochul urging her to make a massive investment in better buildings in New York, starting in disadvantaged urban and rural communities, where buildings are the least efficient and costs are highest. The letter is signed by environmental justice, health, housing, and clean energy organizations.

The letter calls for:

• At least 2 million energy-efficient all-electric homes by 2030, at least half of which will be new and existing affordable housing in and for Disadvantaged Communities
• A Green Affordable Housing Fund for Disadvantaged Communities
• Building codes and utility regulation to support an end to fossil fuel expansion
• Thousands of high quality, high-paying career jobs, with priority for disadvantaged communities and priority populations

Organizational Sign On

We invite organizations to join us in urging Governor Hochul to commit to equitable building electrification.

Sign the Petition

Join the thousands of individuals who support the building electrification equity platform.
