The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: What It Is, How It Will Work, and How Communities Can Truly Benefit

Editor’s Note: This event has concluded. Watch The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: What It Is, How It Will Work, and How Communities Can Truly Benefit.

 

Americans are struggling more than ever to find and maintain housing they can afford. The climate crisis is only making things worse. Amongst various possible solutions, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund arose as a main contender, with $27 billion for communities to address climate change. It’s an unprecedented amount of money that’s expected to deliver climate assistance across the country to communities that need it most, no matter the predominant politics of a given region.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, join Shelterforce’s Lara Heard as she hosts a conversation about the fund—what it is, how it can truly benefit low-income communities, and what groups have been doing with some of the funding so far.

Speakers include:

Erica L. King, senior vice president of economic development and lending at the African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs. The alliance is part of the Justice Climate Fund, which was awarded one of the Clean Communities Investment Accelerator awards under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Krista Egger, vice president of Building Resilient Futures at Enterprise Community Partners. Enterprise is part of Power Forward Communities, a coalition of organizations that was awarded a National Communities Investment Fund award under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Mary Scott Balys, vice president for public policy at Opportunity Finance Network (OFN). OFN was awarded a Clean Communities Investment Accelerator award as part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
