The California Housing Ecosystem
California is faced with unprecedented challenges: climate change, social inequity, and an acute housing affordability crisis. Prioritizing cross-sector collaboration as we reimagine the way homes and neighborhoods are built will enable us to address these interconnected challenges while also advancing equity, community health, and ecological well-being.
Our Work
Build It Green connects housing changemakers to transform California’s housing ecosystem. Together, we address the interwoven issues of affordability, social equity, and the environment to support thriving neighborhoods that exist in harmony with human and natural systems.
