The EAH Housing Building Sustainable Communities Initiative was launched in 2009 to ensure that sustainable principles are reflected throughout the design, development, and management of EAH communities and corporate operations. Long before the term “Smart Growth” was coined, EAH Housing was building infill affordable housing to facilitate the growth of sustainable communities, and to provide a stable foundation for our residents to build their futures.
Phase II, Saving Through Sustainability, incorporated efforts to improve data collection and analysis systems for utility and consumption tracking in partnership with EPA Portfolio Manager and the U.S. Better Buildings Challenge.
Currently, EAH Housing is even more acutely focused on mitigating the environmental challenges that local and global communities are facing. Each day, this Initiative continues to benefit the well-being of over 25,000 EAH residents by improving the health and safety of their homes, increasing resident and staff engagement in conservation, and reducing our organizational impact on the environment—creating a healthier planet for us all.
The Building Sustainable Communities Initiative incorporates the EAH Housing dedication to sustainability:
