Maryland Clean Energy Program Kickoff

The New Ecology Decarbonization division was a proud co-host of the Maryland Clean Energy Program kickoff event for affordable multifamily housing providers on May 22nd in Baltimore, MD.

Joining forces with long-time partners, the National Housing Trust (NHT) and the Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF), this new program aims to build knowledge and capacity among affordable housing developers in Maryland to enable them to improve building performance, meet regulated performance standards and obtain financing for implementation projects. The program will deliver a series of educational webinars, and provide tools and resources needed for assessing portfolios to refine focus areas that will evolve into one-on-one technical assistance sessions.

The event included presentations by project funders, a new and welcome experience for many developers in attendance. Both Project Manager Rebecca Arnold and Director of Partnership Development Joshua Galloway spoke passionately about New Ecology's capabilities and prior successes throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Principal Director of Decarbonization Marty Josten and Assistant Project Manager Jenny Umana-Lemus were also at the New Ecology table to help housing providers sign up for the program, making this a truly cross-cutting team effort.
