This data illustrates that slightly over <br />10% of Roseville households are confronting the challenges of energy burden.' <br />Barriers to Outreach <br />According to the Department of Energy's <br />research, more than two-thirds of the <br />households experiencing energy burden in <br />Roseville are owner-occupied.6 We anticipate <br />that some in this category may be long-time <br />residents who have lived in their home a very <br />long time but may now be struggling to keep <br />things together on a fixed income, or current <br />owners may have inherited the home from a <br />deceased family member, unintentionally <br />raising their living expenses. See Figure 18, <br />to the right. <br />Desired Outcomes <br />Our short-term goal is to build a reliable <br />process for locating households likely to <br />benefit from the resources available. Success <br />will be measured by requests for information <br />from potential energy -burdened households <br />during the first six months of the plan. <br />Figure 18: Roseville Energy -Burdened Homes, <br />Owner -Occupied vs. Rented <br />i <br />' https://stats.metc.state.mn.us/profile/detail.aspx?c=02396435 <br />e https://www.energV.gov/eere/slsc/maps/lead-tool <br />Roseville Energy Action Plan 14 <br />
