Lopez Community Land Trust Receives Grant from Home Depot Foundation
12.15.2010 Mithun, Project Updates
The award is based on the Lopez Community Land Trust’s (LCLT) fourth affordable housing project, Common Ground, a net-zero energy community featuring straw bale construction with earthen plaster, rainwater catchment, solar hot water, and a grid-tied solar electric system.
“We believe that healthy, affordable homes are the cornerstone of strong families and thriving communities,” said Kelly Caffarelli, president of The Home Depot Foundation. “LCLT demonstrates that by following the principles of energy efficiency and using good quality products and finishes, families can reap the benefits of lower monthly utility costs and healthier surroundings. We are confident that the work done by LCLT will serve as a model for all developers.”
The Awards of Excellence winners were selected from projects submitted by nonprofit housing developers throughout the country.
