About GREEN
The Partnership’s Sustainable Housing team convenes the Green Rental home Energy Efficiency Network (GREEN) for mission-driven multifamily affordable housing owners working to collaboratively increase access to solar, energy efficiency, clean energy and water conservation resources for affordable rental properties and low-income renters in California. In recognition of the key role that energy and water costs play in the long-term financial feasibility of operating affordable housing, GREEN was founded in 2010 and includes more than 50 nonprofit and government housing organizations active statewide with extensive experience in financing, installing and maintaining clean and efficient energy systems in multifamily affordable communities.
GREEN INITIATIVES
Energy Affordability: Advance state solar, energy efficiency and energy storage programs and solutions for the low-income multifamily rental sector.
Building Decarbonization: As multifamily electrification policies take shape, ensure that low-income renters and the nonprofit affordable housing providers who serve them do not face inequitable burdens.
Water Affordability: Work at the state and local level to increase affordable housing and low-income household access to water affordability and conservation resources.
Financing Solutions: Advise on development of energy financing tools such as On-Bill Repayment and On-Bill Financing.
Los Angeles: Advance energy and water affordability solutions for the low-income multifamily rental sector in the City of Los Angeles.

The GREEN Advisory Board includes leaders from nonprofit affordable housing organizations who guide the California Housing Partnership’s work to increase and enhance energy and water resources for multifamily affordable rental properties and low-income renters in California.
