But <a title=\"Toward More Equitable Energy Efficiency Programs for Underserved Households - American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aceee.org\/research-report\/b2301#msdynttrid=GaPRhII3oDYr1Y33A41lWEzu5fzfiTDaP3S0orJ4nDc\">new research from The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)<\/a> shows that low-income households are underserved by these programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACEEE looked at access to energy efficiency programs across the country. ACEEE\u2019s report found that low- and moderate-income households, renters, and households identifying as Black, Latino\/a, rural, or Non-English speakers are underserved by energy efficiency programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These groups participated less in energy incentive programs. They also had fewer available options for energy efficient equipment that is eligible for incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors note that unequal access to energy efficiency programs has negative impacts on families. They face high energy burdens, have home comfort and safety issues, and experience more health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e0e0e0\">Keep scrolling for more recaps about the latest news in affordable housing \ud83d\udd3d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Thousands will lose rental vouchers if debt ceiling deal is approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tens of thousands of families will lose their rental assistance if a <a title=\"Thousands will lose rental vouchers if debt ceiling deal is approved - Affordable Housing Online\" href=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/thousands-will-lose-rental-vouchers-if-debt-ceiling-deal-is-approved\/\">new deal to raise the debt ceiling is passed in its current form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy (R-CA) reached agreement to suspend the federal debt ceiling until January 2025, after the next presidential election. In return for suspending the debt ceiling, President Biden agreed to federal spending caps over the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But \u201cfreezing\u201d federal spending is really just a cut in disguise. Many Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs need annual increases to keep up with inflation, rapidly rising rents, and higher interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Final Debt Ceiling Agreement Could Harm Renters and People Experiencing Homelessness! Your Advocacy Is Needed! - National Low Income Housing Coalition\" href=\"https:\/\/nlihc.org\/resource\/final-debt-ceiling-agreement-could-harm-renters-and-people-experiencing-homelessness-your\">The National Low-Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) says<\/a> that this shortfall would mean \u201ctens of thousands of households will be at risk of losing rental assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debt ceiling deal would also impose new work requirements on those receiving SNAP and TANF benefits, but veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and young adults leaving foster care would be exempt under the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republicans support work requirements to reduce the rolls and cut program spending. However, <a title=\"Re: CBO\u2019s Estimate of the Budgetary Effects of H.R. 3746, the Fiscal\nResponsibility Act of 2023 - Congressional Budget Office\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/system\/files\/2023-05\/hr3746_Letter_McCarthy.pdf\">the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)<\/a> estimates that SNAP work requirements will increase program spending $2.1 billion over 10 years, and save the TANF program only $5 million over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The House approved the debt ceiling deal on May 31 with a bipartisan 314-117 vote. The Senate needs to approve it before June 5, when the Treasury Department says the federal government will not be able to pay its bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">HUD launches new Fair Housing information website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Housing and Urban Development launched a new <a title=\"Fair Housing and Civil Rights - HUD Exchange\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hudexchange.info\/programs\/fair-housing\">website with Fair Housing and Civil Rights information<\/a> for housing providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the information is geared toward housing agencies and making sure that they comply with Fair Housing and civil rights laws. However, there are also <a title=\"Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity - HUD.gov\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/fairhousing\">resources that explain what counts as housing discrimination and what protections low-income renters have<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most helpful is a link to <a title=\"File a Complaint \u2013 Main Page - HUD.gov\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/online-complaint\">FHEO\u2019s portal for filing housing discrimination complaints<\/a>.

It also explains how to file complaints by email, phone, or mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Financial well-being declined in 2022, according to Federal Reserve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>American households experienced a \u201cmarked decline\u201d in financial well-being in 2022 over the previous year, according to an <a title=\"Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2022 Fact Sheet - Federal Reserve\" href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/newsevents\/pressreleases\/files\/other20230522a1.pdf\">annual survey by the Federal Reserve Board<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a huge increase in the number of people who reported they were \u201cworse off\u201d than the year before, rising from 20% in 2021 to 35% in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 also a decline in the share of people who could cover small emergency expenses with cash on hand.
