This
groundbreaking effort is a partnership of The Enterprise Foundation and
the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), along with the American

Communities criteria. The initiative also will encourage government
agencies at the local, state and federal level to “green” their
affordable housing programs.
Come find out about:
-
More than $2.5 million in discounted green loans to developers
of affordable residential or supportive housing
-
$230,000 in grants to help cover costs associated with building
green
-
Technical assistance at no cost through the Florida Solar Energy
Center to help utilize the most cost-effective green strategies
and identify local design professionals with green-building
expertise.
-
Competitively priced equity through the Low-income Housing Tax
Credit.
