SRF Policy Briefs and Explainers
The Environmental Policy Innovation Center is developing a series of briefs on policy options that State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs could adopt to expand access to state and federal investments in water infrastructure while ensuring the long-term viability of the SRFs and their ability to provide continued access to low-cost capital for water projects. The policy options relate to a variety of important issues, from reforming state definitions and policies to ensure additional subsidies reach the communities that need them most, to consideration of financial terms and fees and their impacts on affordability. These policy options will be useful to state and federal policymakers, municipalities and utilities, nonprofits, advocates, and other stakeholders. All policy briefs will be available here. Please check the website regularly for updates, and sign up for the EPIC newsletter to receive notifications when a policy option brief is released.
