Access to affordable energy, water, and telecommunications services are essential necessities for modern life. Loss of these services can threaten the health and safety of vulnerable households, as well as access to their housing. NCLC works with federal and state policymakers, utility companies, and advocates on policies and programs to maintain fair and affordable utility services for low-income families.
