The buildings we create affect the communities and the environment they rest within. Join us on March 31st to discuss the affordable housing crisis in the golden state, the third event in our Intersectional Environmentalism series.

Everyone should be able to benefit from the health benefits of green buildings. Hear speaker stories and case studies of LEED Homes that provide safe, equitable, and healthy homes for communities in California. This event will present thought-provocative conversations with leaders in healthy and green affordable housing, including multi-family, ADUs, and other building types.

Explore these important conversations and inform your work:

• How can green building support occupant and community health?
• As we address the critical housing crisis, how do we ensure that these housing projects are providing equitable, quality housing that support human health and sustainability?
• How can we demystify misconceptions of sustainable and healthy affordable housing? And overcome NIMBY-ism?
• How can we use the LEED Homes platform to break down some of the barriers to make green, equitable and sustainable housing for all, no matter the project scale (e.g., ADUs, single family, multifamily, dense urban infill, transit-oriented design).
• Learn tips on how to hold sustainability and health outcomes through value engineering, construction, and bidding.
• Begin to understand how to engage communities upfront in the design process and post occupancy.

Speakers to be announced.
