Learn at Lunch: Inflation Reduction Act Funding Opportunities for Affordable Housing Series

HDC, LISC Puget Sound, and WSECU are pleased to present a series of Learn at Lunch sessions featuring funding opportunities available from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and related programs!

IRA unveiled the greatest-ever cash infusion from the Federal Government to support sustainability efforts across the built environment. Including IRA funding with efforts to build and rehabilitate affordable housing provides new opportunities to create environmental equity in communities that have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change.
