USGBC-LA’s The Green Affordable Housing Program (GAHP) was developed to support all Angelenos in having healthy, efficient, and resilient places to live, work, and play. This program delivers green community resources to disadvantaged communities and historically underserved neighborhoods that are energy-inefficient or burdened with pollution sources that are hazardous to communities’ health. The GAHP provides owners and residents of multi-family properties located in the Eastern San Fernando Valley with strategies for reducing energy and water costs, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Green Affordable Housing Program provides:
- Tenant Workshops in English and Spanish covering sustainable practices & occupant health to help reduce utility costs;
- Enrollment assistance with LADWP programs and rebates;
- Guidance through a menu of efficiency & electrification options to facilitate building retrofits
- Installation of community EV charging stations;
- Installation of Air Source Heat Pump technology to lower energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions ; and
- Subsidized installation of innovative new green building technology to reduce utility costs
- Air and water quality monitoring provided at no-cost
Workshops for both property owners and tenants will be delivered at 20 selected multi-family properties. Participants will also receive a toolkit with resources on sustainable practices and occupant health, programs and rebates, tips on water and energy savings, building retrofit support and more!
