Enterprise's new publication, Bringing Home the Benefits of Energy Efficiency to Low-Income Households (PDF, 5MB), makes the case for a national commitment to increase the energy efficiency in affordable housing, especially homes for low-income people.

It also would spur progress in the fight against climate change by unleashing innovation among a wide range of private, public and community-
