The Green Communities Initiative is a five-year, $550 million initiative to build more than 8,500 homes across the United States that provide significant health, economic, and environmental benefits to low-income families and communities. The effort is a partnership of the Enterprise Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, in collaboration with the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning Association, and leading corporate, financial, and philanthropic organizations.
The initiative will offer financing, grants, and technical assistance to developers to build affordable housing that promotes health, conserves energy and natural resources, and provides easy access to jobs, schools, and services.
Grants will help cover the costs of planning and implement- ing green components of affordable housing projects, as well as tracking their costs and benefits.
A minimum of $1 million in grant funds is available to participants. Individual grant amounts will range between $15,000 and $50,000.
The grant competition is open to 501(c)(3) nonprofit, public housing authorities and tribally designated housing entities. For-profit entities may participate through joint ventures with qualified organizations.
See the Enterprise Foundation Web site for complete infor- mation, grant guidelines and application instructions, and an FAQ.
