Build it GreenSolving homelessness with sustainable, healthy housing
Common Ground is hosting a special event showcasing the region's top green architects and their designs for six new green residences developed by Common Ground.
Common Ground's buildings serve the homeless and low income households. The event supports Common Ground's "Green Building Campaign" to raise the $4.3 million necessary to achieve LEED certification at six buildings. The Kresge Foundation has made a challenge grant of $750,000 to the Campaign.
