HUD and DOE announced the Better Climate Challenge, a voluntary, market-based platform for organizations to meet portfolio-wide greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) reduction goals. Seven of the 80 inaugural partners are public housing or multifamily partners serving 40,000 low-and moderate-income households. The program builds on HUD’s Better Building Challenge by requesting commitments of 50 percent portfolio-wide reductions in carbon emissions over 10 years.
