The California Housing Ecosystem
California is faced with unprecedented challenges: climate change, social inequity, and an acute housing affordability crisis.

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.
