Course Details

Climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience have become key considerations for the affordable housing and community development fields. Increasing and Intensifying natural disasters, urban heat islands, and disparate impacts on communities of color and low- to moderate-income communities make it clear climate should be atop the community development agenda. And with the help of an array of new resources, this work is becoming increasingly accessible and affordable.

This interactive two-day course will present the mission and business case for making climate mitigation a core part of your organization’s work. You’ll obtain tools and ideas for reviewing your existing lines of business and how to integrate mitigation approaches and best practices. And you’ll hear more about the latest federal funding resources that will make this work more affordable and feasible. We’ll look at examples of successful climate interventions by community development organizations and how we can scale these efforts. Topics and strategies for climate mitigation to be discussed include electrification, community and rooftop solar, tax credits and financing, weatherization, and more.
