Abstract: "Left in the Dark" examines how rising electricity costs and utility disconnections undermine the effectiveness of existing food, healthcare, and housing assistance programs in the United States. The paper argues that reliable electricity should be treated as a foundational component of the U.S. social safety net and proposes reforms to address energy insecurity.
