About ACTION-Housing Green

Central to ACTION-Housing's philosophy is a belief that community-wide problems are best solved with an inclusive, community approach. This belief is reflected throughout our programs and efforts. There are hundreds of people who have worked with us on the ACTION-Housing Green initiatives and who continue to be our resources, allies, collaborators, funders, and inspiration. We are fortunate and grateful for their commitment and energy. The strength of our outcomes is a direct result of their involvement.
