To reduce the energy burden on income-qualified households within New York State, NYSERDA offers the EmPower New York (EmPower) program, a retrofit program that provides cost-effective electric reduction measures (i.e., primarily lighting and refrigerator replacements), and cost-effective home performance measures (i.e., insulation air sealing, heating system repair and replacments, and health and safety measures) to income qualified homeowners and renters.

D I S C L A I M E R: Estimated Annual kWh Savings, Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings, and First Year Energy Savings $ Estimate represent contractor reported savings derived from energy modeling software calculations and not actual realized energy savings. The accuracy of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings for projects has been evaluated by an independent third party. The results of the impact analysis indicate that, on average, actual savings amount to 54 percent of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and 70 percent of the Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings. The analysis did not evaluate every single project, but rather a sample of projects from 2007 and 2008, so the results are applicable to the population on average but not necessarily to any individual project which could have over or under achieved in comparison to the evaluated savings. The results from the impact analysis will be updated when more recent information is available. Some reasons individual households may realize savings different from those projected include, but are not limited to, changes in the number or needs of household members, changes in occupancy schedules, changes in energy usage behaviors, changes to appliances and electronics installed in the home, and beginning or ending a home business.

The Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership is a voluntary federal-state enterprise created for the purpose of merging employee, and employer data to provide a set of enhanced labor market statistics known collectively as Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). The QWI are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows. For the purposes of this dataset, LED data for 2018 is aggregated to Census Summary Level 070 (State + County + County Subdivision + Place/Remainder), and joined with the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program grantee areas spatial dataset for FY2018.

In December 2017, the Urban Institute launched the Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey (WBNS), a nationally representative, internet-based survey of nonelderly adults designed to monitor changes in individual and family well-being during a time when policymakers are considering significant changes to federal safety net programs serving low-income families. The 2018 round of the survey collects information on a broad array of topics related to health, material hardship, and the safety net, including health insurance, housing, food security, employment, family income, program participation, family financial security, disability, discrimination, substance use disorder, and immigration issues.

This dataset includes Statistics Canada table 46-10-0049-01, titled “Total family income and owner characteristics at the residential property level”.

The dataset has been split up into three tables:
Table A includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by family type (lone-parent family, couple family, and other census family).
Table B includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by pension income categories (eg. whether or not the owner of the property is receiving a pension).
Table C includes includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by residency participation types (eg. whether the property is owned by resident owners only or a mix of resident and non-resident owners).

The table has been edited to include only geographies from British Columbia and to have the unique ID numbers added to the Census Subdivisions and Census Metropolitan Areas. The table is available in CSV and Excel Workbook format. Definitions and notes are included at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

This data set was collected as part of the Canadian Housing Statistics Program by Statistics Canada.

This layer is a combination of multiple incentive areas used in the Development Assistance map.The New Markets Tax Credit Program incentivizes community development and economic growth through the use of tax credits that attract private investment to distressed communities. Through the NMTC Program, the CDFI Fund allocates tax credit authority to Community Development Entities (CDEs) through a competitive application process. CDEs are financial intermediaries through which private capital flows from an investor to a qualified business located in a low-income community. CDEs use their authority to offer tax credits to investors in exchange for equity in the CDE. Using the capital from these equity investments, CDEs can make loans and investments to businesses operating in low-income communities on better rates and terms and more flexible features than the market. Derived from 2011-2015 Census Tracts per CDFI Fund CIMS mapping tool."The Opportunity Zones program provides tax incentives, including a temporary deferral on capital gains taxes, when investors reinvest those gains in qualified Opportunity Funds. The funds must in turn invest in low-income communities from designated census tracts, called Opportunity Zones." - Florida Department of Economic Opportunity"The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) encourages the establishment of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) as a means to create communities of opportunity in distressed neighborhoods. The goal of this program is to reinvest in human and economic capital, and economically empower low-income residents as part of an overall community revitalization strategy. Comprehensive community revitalization strategies seek to create partnerships among federal and local governments, the private sector, community organizations and neighborhood residents." - City of Fort Myers Florida Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas Plan"The Community Contribution Tax Credit Program provides a financial incentive (up to 50 percent tax credit or sales tax refund) to encourage Florida businesses to make donations toward community development and housing projects for low-income persons." - Florida Department of Economic Opportunity In the project area, the City will acquire vacant lots and partner with non-profit and for profit affordable home builders to construct homes for low income residents. The CCTC program enables the City to continue to revitalize the area by having the ability to solicit donations from eligible businesses. The City will use the donations for acquisition and construction of homes for low income residents.Created 4/27/2018.
