emPOWER
The emPOWER program is a coordinated regional-wide outreach program with a mission to overcome barriers to sustainable energy usage commonly experienced in low-income and working-class communities of color.
Los Angeles and Inland Empire
Valley CAN has partnered with Liberty Hill Foundation in Southern California to work with community-based organizations, utility service providers and public agencies, with a goal to combat climate change. Together, we make sure that the people hurt most by pollution, extreme heat, and increasing utility bills in these regions can receive residential resources and free information that helps them switch to environmentally-friendly transportation options or lower their utility bills and home energy usage.
