On-Bill Financing Gaining Traction in New York

Yesterday in Albany New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, affirmed that energy efficiency retrofits are top job creators, and praised specifically New York’s recently passed on-bill financing law – a policy crafted by Surdna grantee the Center for Working Families. He said “this on-bill financing is a very big deal that I think every region should maximize,” adding that the program deserves more publicity than it's received.

 

Additionally, on Sept 21, Surdna hosted a Green Jobs-Green New York briefing sponsored by Philanthropy NY, the Center for Working Families, the New York Community Trust, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
