Affordable Housing

The EarthCraft program takes a practical approach to constructing environmentally responsible projects, making them accessible to a variety of market sectors, including affordable housing. EarthCraft homes deliver energy and water savings, healthier indoor air quality, and reduced maintenance and utility costs – attributes that are critical to lower income residents. Through its affordable housing work, EarthCraft ensures that the benefits of green building reach those who need them the most.

Since its inception, EarthCraft has dispelled the myth that “green costs too much.” In recent years, EarthCraft has been incorporated into the state Qualified Allocation Plans in both Georgia and Virginia. Through these programs, affordable housing developers are able to access additional tax credits that drive down the cost of EarthCraft housing even further.
