The Carsey Policy Hour engages policymakers, public service professionals, and active citizens and organizations in the issues and policies that affect the people and places of New Hampshire. Each month features a dynamic expert speaker (or two), followed by an interactive audience discussion. The intent is to foster learning, problem-solving, and collaboration in service of New Hampshire's common good. Sessions are held on the second Wednesday of each month, from 8 – 9 am. Fall 2024 dates are: September 11, October 9, November 13 and December 11.
Upcoming Policy Hours!
Why would a landlord invest in weatherization or energy efficiency upgrades, if tenants pay their electricity bills directly? The effects of this ‘split incentive’ (when one party pays, but another party benefits) are especially consequential in decades-old multifamily buildings that are a staple of affordable housing in New England cities and towns. Municipal leaders and community-based organizations are working with landlord owner-operators and property managers to find solutions to this challenge.
This Carsey Policy Hour is offered jointly with the New England Municipal Sustainability (NEMS) Network, a consortium of New England cities and towns that collaborate to build more sustainable communities. We will hear from Troy Moon, Director of Sustainability, on how the City of Portland, Maine, has worked to ‘green’ existing multifamily rental properties—followed by promising approaches and success stories from across the country. Ellen Lurie Hoffman, Director of Carsey’s Center for Impact Finance and a leader in affordable housing policy, will facilitate the session.
Coming Soon!
Troy Moon is Director of Sustainability for the City of Portland, Maine. His office leads efforts to implement strategies outlined in the City's climate action plan, One Climate Future. These include programs to promote energy efficiency and beneficial electrification in commercial and residential buildings as well as programs to enhance resilience in order to prepare the City and its residents for the impacts of climate change.
