New Report: Affordable Green Building in Rural Communities
by Housing Assistance Council
In April 2006, the Housing Assistance Council (HAC) brought together national green building organizations, local rural housing organizations with a history of green building, funding organizations, and other stakeholders in the sustainable housing development movement in a roundtable forum to explore the specifics of green affordable housing and the challenges in rural areas. During the roundtable, representatives of rural affordable housing organizations identified their organizations' green building activities, challenges, and responses to these challenges, while funders contributed dialogue on the characteristics of green resource delivery for rural groups. This discussion yielded a rich array of information on rural affordable green building.
