Affordable housing professionals are invited to join the Green Affordable Housing Coalition for a brown-bag session on energy efficiency and solar resources for multifamily construction new projects.

Attendees will learn how to qualify for a range of cash incentives and technical support available to designers and developers through PG&E’s 2007-2008 residential new construction incentive programs. The California Multifamily New Homes Program offers cash incentives, technical resources, design assistance, program coordination with related programs, and marketing benefits to affordable and market rate multifamily high- and low-rise projects.

Attendees will also learn how to access funding for high-performing solar systems through the New Solar Homes Partnership and how participation in the Multifamily New Homes Program can help projects meet the energy efficiency threshold criteria for accessing solar incentives through the Partnership.
