Power Forward Communities is a coalition of some of the country’s most trusted housing, climate, and community investment groups dedicated to decarbonizing and transforming American housing. We’re saving homeowners and renters money, reinvesting in communities, and tackling the climate crisis.
Who we are
Power Forward Communities — led by Enterprise Community Partners, Rewiring America, Habitat for Humanity International, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way Worldwide — will deploy a combination of lending and market transformation to create healthier, safer, more resilient, and more affordable communities.Powering for impact
We will make household decarbonization affordable, bringing down costs in the marketplace by spurring demand — focusing particularly on housing in low-income and disadvantaged communities — adding hundreds of thousands of good-paying local jobs, saving households on their monthly bills, and improving health outcomes.Our strategy is designed to ensure investment reaches the communities that need it most. We have committed to investing at least 75 percent of financial assistance in low-income and disadvantaged communities — nearly twice the EPA’s Justice 40 mandate.
So far, more than 300 organizations, including 150-plus communities across 46 states in every EPA region, are supporting our goal to decarbonize homes nationwide.
Decades of experience
Power Forward Communities will harness decades of experience and nationwide reach to deploy a unique combination of financing, market building, and community engagement strategies from big cities to small towns to rural and Tribal regions and everywhere in between.

We see no mention of Stacy Abrams.
Like I said, another dishonest right wing thread.
