LISC and Coalition Partners Awarded $2 Billion via National Clean Investment Fund

LISC is proud to be one of five national organizations leading Power Forward Communities, a new coalition investing in green housing and jobs to support economic opportunity and climate resilience. The EPA awarded the coalition $2 billion to implement a decarbonization strategy that also lifts up under-resourced communities—making housing more affordable, mitigating climate impacts and improving local health.

This is an exciting development that will bring significant scale and resources to LISC Massachusetts’ existing Green Homes and Green Jobs initiatives. LISC Massachusetts is well prepared and positioned to take advantage of this historic investment in climate action due to our longstanding work supporting equitable building decarbonization across Massachusetts. 

For 15 years, LISC Massachusetts has led energy and healthy housing work with affordable housing owners and grown into a trusted partner and resource for local and state policy makers and regulators. With this award to LISC and Power Forward Communities, LISC Massachusetts will build on our long track record of climate action in support of low-income and historically disinvested communities. 

We look forward to working with partners, stakeholders, and community members as the complete details of the award and program are finalized.
