Decarbonizing Affordable Housing: Policy, Practice, and Financing Pathways
Published On July 8, 2025
Across the United States, efforts to decarbonize and increase the climate resilience of subsidized housing—such as properties funded through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)—are seen as critical to promoting climate, health, and equity goals. Yet these buildings face unique challenges: limited operating margins, complex financing structures, and regulatory requirements that can hinder upgrades.
This webinar will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and finance experts to explore the strategies needed to advance efforts to align climate action with long-term asset preservation and affordability. Panelists include:
- Carolina Reid, Faculty Research Advisor, Terner Center for Housing Innovation (Moderator)
- Andrew Dawson, Senior Manager of Policy Advocacy, California Housing Partnership
- John Moon, President, LISC Green
- Amy Stitely, Undersecretary for Strategy & Climate at Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities, Massachusetts
- Michelle Tran, Sustainability Manager, Chinatown Community Development Center
The webinar is made possible through generous support from the Wells Fargo Foundation.
