Green Communities Fund

Here is a smart growth resource you should know about.

Green Communities is a five-year, $550 million fund to build more than 8,500 homes across the country that provide significant health, economic and environmental benefits to low-income families and communities.

This effort is a partnership of The Enterprise Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), along with the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning Association and leading corporate, financial and philanthropic organizations. Over time, Green Communities will transform the way Americans think about, locate, design and build affordable homes.

    a non profit to build a green community.
    where is the nahb when over 85% of new homeowners want a green comunity,the nahb is asking congress for a 2k tax credit . the
    homebuyer should get a tax credit.
    the us is out to lunch when they can not educate an illiterate public to buy a green home when it costs less than 3% more than a regular home.the us is to stupid to educate the public.
    look at china no problem there.

    meetings and wasted time where is the us green communities?
