Book excerpt: DOE's mission areas provide an opportunity to advance equity and justice across sectors. For low-income households grappling with issues of energy burden and energy insecurity, DOE's Weatherization Assistance Programs provide an opportunity for financial security. For colleges and universities, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), DOE funding provides critical supports to advance basic research. For businesses, including Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), DOE contracting and acquisition can advance economic opportunity while helping DOE deliver on its mission. DOE is also a critical leader in the all-of-government approach to tackle the climate crisis and deliver on the Justice40 Initiative, which will ensure that 40 percent of the benefits of its clean energy, energy efficiency, and climate programs flow to underserved communities.
