Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently introduced the “Green New Deal for Public Housing Act.” The legislation aims to retrofit, rehabilitate, and decarbonize the entire nation’s public housing stock. It would invest up to $180 billion over 10 years in sustainable retrofits that include all needed repairs and eliminate carbon emissions in federal public housing. The legislation would also provide funding to electrify all buildings, add solar panels, and secure renewable energy sources for all public housing energy needs.
