⚡️NEUAC's Mission⚡️

Access to heating, cooling, electricity, and water is essential to living safely and maintaining a healthy home.

NEUAC works to increase awareness of the energy and utility affordability challenges facing income-constrained households. Through advocacy, education, information-sharing, and public-private partnerships, we help strengthen the programs and policies that connect vulnerable households with essential services.

Our vision is a future in which everyone has access to the energy and utility resources they need to live safely and healthfully—without having to choose between keeping the lights on and meeting other basic needs.

Meet NEUAC: the National Energy and Utility Affordability Coalition.

We are a national nonprofit coalition bringing together utility assistance professionals, nonprofit organizations, government and tribal entities, utilities, corporations, and other advocates committed to addressing energy and water affordability.

By connecting people across sectors, NEUAC helps members share knowledge, strengthen partnerships, educate policymakers, and advance solutions for households experiencing energy insecurity.

Over the next few weeks, our Meet NEUAC series will take a closer look at our mission, signature initiatives, membership benefits, and the community working with us to protect access to essential utility services.

We’re kicking off Meet the Team, a new series introducing the people behind NEUAC!
