Climate Smart Housing

Driving climate improvements into low and moderate-income communities

Climate Smart Housing is an initiative of Community Sustainability Partners and the Global Policy Leadership Academy, dedicated to bridging the gap between emerging green-building technologies and affordable housing construction. Through innovative financial and policy solutions, they work with local, state, national, and global partners to advance equitable climate investment into affordable and non-market rate private affordable housing.

This new report is aimed at state and local policymakers and practitioners interested in equitable decarbonization and applicable systems change solutions for their region.

For this project we combined a number of source documents:

a series of case studies that highlight various keys to success in driving energy funds into affordable housing,
a multisector roadmap for equitable decarbonization of California's affordable housing,
an analysis of the funding gap between California’s climate goals and current investment in decarbonizing affordable housing, and
a database of sustainability funding opportunities

into an integrated, interactive website. Readers can navigate the case studies by focusing on different keys to success, navigate the roadmap by following program and financing action steps, and search the interactive funding opportunities database for programs that match their criteria.

Does your organization produce reports, toolkits, resource guides or similar publications?

How much more engaging and effective would they be if visitors could truly interact with your content instead of just downloading PDFs?

We'd love to talk with you about it — get in touch with us today!
