Join the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition's monthly Affordable Housing Working Group as we continue advancing energy efficiency, building decarbonization, and electrification in affordable housing—ensuring low‑income renters can equitably benefit from the clean energy transition.
This month, our October session focuses on reducing energy burdens, strengthening decarbonization strategies, and launching the early planning phase of our tenant‑rights campaign—a collaborative effort to support renters facing rising costs, aging buildings, and climate‑driven housing challenges.
This collaborative working group brings together:
🏡 Affordable housing organizations
🌱 Green building and energy efficiency experts
🤝 Community advocates and organizers
📋 Policy leaders from across the Midwest
Together, we explore and advance solutions that improve housing affordability, reduce energy burdens, and create healthier homes through equitable policies and programs.
Current and past topics include:
Affordable housing developer tax credits
Energy benchmarking for multifamily buildings
Building electrification
Energy efficiency programs
State and regional affordable housing policy opportunities
Whether you're an experienced practitioner or new to this work, we welcome your perspective and participation.
