Affordable Housing
Most new and rehabilitated affordable housing is green certified, providing comfortable, healthy, and efficient homes for our citizens in need. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs provide significant incentives for developers to certify their projects under one of many available green building programs. In addition, numerous financing, tax incentives, and utility rebate programs work hand-in-hand with green certification to provide additional incentives for developers to construction high performance buildings.

We work with developers, housing authorities, and contractors to make sure that their projects meet program requirements, providing comfortable, healthy, and efficient housing.
