Home Depot

Since 2004, The Home Depot Foundation has awarded LISC $1.15 million to implement The Healthy and Efficient Neighborhood Homes Partnership, a program to advance “green”� affordable housing development, which offers savings in operating costs, reduces adverse environmental impacts, and improves health for residents. Green community development is an area of growing interest for the field and this funding has been critical in our efforts to integrate green building practices into local affordable housing production strategies through pilot programs in six local sites – Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, Richmond, Twin Cities, and Washington, DC. The grant also supports LISC in providing practical trainings for local community developers that can be delivered nationwide, and to share best practices with the field. Support from The Home Depot Foundation has helped CDCs build more homes that are safer and more healthy to live in. Read more >>
