Launching an Energy Efficient Future
Enterprise's new publication, Bringing Home the Benefits of Energy Efficiency to Low-Income Households (PDF, 5MB), makes the case for a national commitment to increase the energy efficiency in affordable housing, especially homes for low-income people. A modest federal investment in such a commitment would deliver significant environmental and economic benefits. It also would spur progress in the fight against climate change by unleashing innovation among a wide range of private, public and community-
based organizations.

Foreclosures: Enterprise Aims to Ease Impact
Rafael Cestero, senior vice president and chief program officer of Enterprise Community Partners, recently shared with the Wall Street Journal some of Enterprise's plans to assist communities with the effects of rising foreclosures. "This is both a crisis and an opportunity," he said in the front page article. While unoccupied homes undercut property values and destabilize neighborhoods, the resulting drive-down in prices can open the door to affordable homeownership programs through viable community-based initiatives.
