The EnergyFit program, co-created by the Pratt Center for Community Development, Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, and IMPACCT Brooklyn, was featured in The City for helping Brooklyn homeowners make energy-efficient and long-overdue repairs. “A lot of these households are in communities that have been disinvested in for a long time, where people are house-rich, cash-poor, and have fallen so far behind on maintenance that to even be able to start moving towards electrification and efficiency, you’ve got to solve these other home maintenance problems,” said Rebekah Morris-Gonzalez, director of climate initiatives at Pratt. “The benefits that will accrue are not just around carbon reductions. It is really about health improvements to households and comfort.”
