Project Category

Housing
This grant will demonstrate a new affordable and sustainable housing solution by building the framing structure for a net zero energy, affordable straw bale home for a low income family. Due to the solar panels on the roof and the energy efficiency of the wall system, the homeowners will have no utility bills and a monthly mortgage payment of only 300.
