During the event, representatives from Eversource and Verizon committed to improving the lives of seniors at Riley House. Eversource educated community members on energy efficiency offers and available programs that aid in managing energy bills, while Verizon shared information regarding discounted internet access to eligible communities. 

The Riley House initiative by Eversource, Verizon, and others advances the 22Q3 Task Force’s efforts to overcome the selected obstacle of: “Enabling flexible load management among harder-to-reach populations” by prioritizing communities in need with respect to equitable grid modernization. This obstacle was delivered by Brandy Chambers, Manager, Energy Efficiency Regulatory & Planning, Eversource.

The 22Q3 Boston Task Force's collaboration with energy partners has not only improved the living conditions for senior residents at Riley House but also set a precedent for future initiatives aimed at achieving energy equity in underserved communities.
