Green Social Housing at Scale: How a Federal Green Social Housing Development Authority Can Build, Repair, and Finance Homes for All

Housing across the nation is inadequate, unaffordable, and responsible for one-fifth of energy-related carbon pollution. The solution to these housing and climate crises is a massive investment in housing as a public good: by developing a national green social housing agenda. This proposal would establish a Federal Green Social Housing Development Authority to build and preserve affordable, climate-resilient housing. The initiative could generate up to 615,000 jobs annually and provide housing for low-income and marginalized communities leading to both environmental sustainability and economic stability through job creation.
