Green Communities Announces Charrette Grants Program
Green Communities Announces Charrette Grants Program
Created by Enterprise Community Partners in partnership with
the Natural Resources Defense Council, Green Communities is a five-year, $555 million initiative to build more than 8,500 environmentally healthy homes for low-income families
in the United States. The initiative provides grants,
financing, tax-credit equity, and technical assistance to
developers who meet Green Communities Criteria for affordable
housing that promotes health, conserves energy and natural
resources, and provides easy access to jobs, schools, and
services.
Green Communities is now offering charrette grants of up to
$5,000 each for green affordable housing developers who want
to convene intense working sessions with the development
team and others who share an interest in promoting health
and livability.
A Green Communities charrette will involve an intense
working session that brings together a diverse group of
housing development professionals as well as funders,
policy makers, and community stakeholders (where possible)
to integrate sustainable green design principles into
affordable housing developments. Enterprise will award
grants to cover the cost of facilitating a charrette during
pre-development and to cover the cost of facilitating a
post-construction sustainability training session.
The charrette grant program is open to 501(c)(3) nonprofits,
public housing authorities, and tribally designated housing
entities; for-profit entities; and for-profit entities
participating through joint ventures with qualified organizations.
