“ In New Hampshire, an average low-income family spends 8-10% of their income on home energy costs forcing tough choices between paying energy bills and buying food, medicine or other essentials. The American Jobs Plan will upgrade low-income homes to make them more energy efficient through a historic investment in the Weatherization Assistance Program, a new Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator to finance building improvements, and expanded tax credits to support home energy upgrades. ”

“ Broadband: 5% of Granite Staters live in areas where, by one definition, there is no broadband infrastructure that provides minimally acceptable speeds. And 62.7% of Granite Staters live in areas where there is only one such internet provider. Even where infrastructure is available, broadband may be too expensive to be within reach. 10% of New Hampshire households do not have an internet subscription. The American Jobs Plan will invest $100 billion to bring universal, reliable, high speed, and affordable coverage to every family in America. ”

“ Granite Staters who take public transportation spend an extra 114.9% of their time commuting and non-White households are 2.1 times more likely to commute via public transportation. 32% of trains and other transit vehicles in the state are past useful life. The American Jobs Plan will modernize public transit with an $85 billion investment.
