Strategy 1: Locate High Energy Burden Households Description Our first challenge is to locate households in Roseville that experience high Lu� and severe energy burden. We will use a variety of tactics to develop a profile that identifies households likely to be energy burdened: • Outreach to school social workers in Roseville will allow us to send messaging home with students receiving free or reduced meal benefits. • Use local organizations and resources that serve these audiences, such as: o Rice Street Coalition o Neighborhood coalitions o Owners and renters' associations/groups o Rice-Larpenteur Alliance o Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative o Youth &Family Services o Food pantries Analyze existing Roseville data to identify homes that both (a) are below Roseville's average home value ($254,2003); and (b) do not show a record of any building permits for renovations or improvements in the past 30 years. Target Audience As we learn more about the demographics of those facing high and severe energy burden in Roseville, our target audience will become clearer. These key facts are the foundation of our demographic understanding. High and Severe Energy Burden - Household Income As described above, a household with high energy cost burden is defined by ACEEE as one with home energy costs amounting to more than 6% but less than 10% of monthly household gross income. Severe energy burden occurs when energy costs are more than 10% of monthly household gross income. As Figure 17 on the next page indicates, average energy burden for the households in the 0%-30% of state median income group is 10% ° placing them in the severe energy burden category. None of the other income categories indicate an energy burden concern. 3 Metropolitan Council: https://stats.metc.state.mn.us/profile/detail.aspx?c=02396435#medhsqval ^ https://stats.metc.state.mn.us/profile/detail.aspx?c=02396435 Roseville Energy Action Plan 13
