Nonprofit ELACC Develops Retrofit Toolkit to Democratize Decarbonization for Affordable Multifamily Housing

LABBC Case Study


2022 Innovation Awards: Industry Leader, Affordable Multifamily Housing Award Winner

Based in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, ELACC is an ardent advocate for economic and social justice in densely populated, low-income urban neighborhoods. The nonprofit community development corporation last year began developing a decarbonization toolkit to simplify retrofit strategies for the affordable housing development community, particularly “mom and pop” owners who tend to have fewer resources in terms of time, money, and staff to implement what their tenants may view as “extra” when much of their energy must be focused first on meeting basic needs. Once complete, the toolkit promises to facilitate energy savings across the affordable multifamily industry, and across the City of Los Angeles.
