SUMMARY:Streamlining Home Electrification: Strategies to Reach Disadvantaged Communities
DESCRIPTION:How can electrification programs better support households in disadvantaged communities?  \nJoin this webinar to explore strategies to reduce program participation barriers and expand home electrification across California. We’ll draw on findings from our recently published report\, Streamlining Home Electrification in the Gateway Cities\, on a promising pilot program in the L.A. region.  \nWhat to Expect: We’ll discuss the benefits of the “one-stop-shop” case management approach and the potential for streamlined applications and a universal home assessment process to facilitate participation across programs. A panel of experts will share perspectives from across the field — including state policy\, environmental justice\, and more — followed by a moderated Q&A. \nWhen: Thursday\, June 11 from 3:30-4:30 PM Pacific Time \nWhere: Register here to receive the Zoom link to attend. \nPresented by: UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation in partnership with Valley Clean Air Now (Valley CAN)  \nRelated Report: Streamlining Home Electrification in the Gateway Cities \nRegister Here\n\nAgenda\n\nIntroduction: Dr. Gregory Pierce\nOpening Remarks: Cliff Rechtschaffen\nResearch Presentation: Lauren Dunlap\nPanel Discussion featuring Ross Zelen\, Wendy Salvador-Galbraith\, and Beckie Menten\nAudience Q&A\n\nHosts\nDr. Gregory Pierce\, Senior Director\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation\nLauren Dunlap\, Project Manager of Energy Equity Research\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation\n \nFeatured Speakers\nCliff Rechtschaffen\, Board Member\, California Air and Resources Board\nRoss Zelen\, Principal Consultant\, California Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change\nWendy Salvador-Galbraith\, Community Organizer\, Greenhouse South LA\nBeckie Menten\, California Director\, Building Decarbonization Coalition
