Technical Assistance Webinar Series
The goal of this series is to foster collective efforts to build out the TA infrastructure needed to deploy funding for building decarbonization in disadvantaged communities.
About The Collaborative
The Clean and Equitable Buildings Collaborative (the “Collaborative”) is a group of industry practitioners, bringing together our expertise in affordable housing, building decarbonization finance, community development, and climate and energy policies, dedicated to helping build the capacity of non-profit and mission-driven Technical Assistance (TA) Providers.
The Collaborative works to:
- Support TA Providers to work with Community Lenders to ensure equitable and efficient deployment of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and other federal funding opportunities.
- Help build the capacity of non-profit and mission-driven TA Providers to integrate and leverage their tools and approaches to drive more uptake of clean energy, energy efficiency, and resiliency in LIDACs.
- Support the scale-up of TA Provider operations, expansion of geographic reach, facilitation of strategic partnerships (e.g. with Community Lenders), and related fundraising needs.
Near-Term Goal: Support mission-driven and non-profit TA organizations to create the foundation of a nationwide robust TA ecosystem, and to facilitate partnerships with GGRF recipients (and philanthropy) to advance that vision.
Long-Term Goal: Build a robust ecosystem of TA, which includes providing financing options, across every region of the US to help building owners decarbonize their projects, with a focus on low-income and disadvantaged communities.
