Global Green in Texas as part of “Greening the Tax Credits” Campaign
Global Green Policy and Legislative Affairs Director Mary Luevano travels to Austin, Texas September 24th to make a presentation to staff at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs about the benefits of green affordable housing. This trip and a previous one in July are part of Global Green’s “Greening the Tax Credits” Campaign an effort to get states to incorporate green building criteria in their low income housing tax credit programs, the most competitive source of financing for low income housing developments nationwide. Global Green has been successful in encouraging the adoption of green building criteria in CA, LA, NY (state and City) and has influenced practices in several other states.
