Build it Green
Solving homelessness with sustainable, healthy housing
Common Ground, the region's largest supportive housing provider, and Bank of America , a leading investor in environmentally sustainable building, are proud partners in hosting a special event showcasing the region's top green architects and their designs for six new green residences developed by Common Ground.
Bank of America is committed to helping customers address global climate change and is leading the way to a more sustainable and profitable future.
Common Ground's buildings serve the homeless and low income individuals. 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 awarded a challenge grant of $750,000 to the Campaign.
