Over the past decade, Global Green USA has established itself as a national leader in promoting green building practices in the affordable housing community. Through the Greening of Affordable Housing Initiative, GGUSA works extensively with non-profit community development corporations, architects, financial institutions, and government agencies at the local, state, and national levels.

Green affordable housing directly benefits individuals and families in need by reducing energy bills and creating healthier living environments. Affordable housing developers and operators gain through higher quality, more efficient, and more durable buildings.

A green school, also known as a high performance school, is a community facility that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner. Green schools protect occupant health, provide a productive learning environment, connect students to the natural world, increase average daily attendance, reduce operating costs, improve teacher satisfaction and retention, and reduce overall impact to the environment.  www.aunitedworld.org/green.asp
