WHAT'S NEW? CPM Promises 296 More Units of Green Affordable Housing by November 2013 Wednesday, May 16, 2012
CPM Housing Group has responded to the Delaware Valley Green Building Council’s 2013 Challenge by announcing plans to deliver 296 units of green and affordable housing over the next 17 months. As the owner/operator of more than 2000 units of affordable and special needs housing in Philadelphia and Washington DC, the CPM Housing Group recognizes the impact that sustainable building practices can have on its residents and the ripple effects in the surrounding communities. “Green buildings are a winning proposition for everyone involved,” said CPM’s Director of Construction, David Hahn. “The residents enjoy lower utility bills and better indoor environments. The community benefits from the extra discretionary income that can be spent at local businesses, not to mention the sense of place and neighborhood is preserved when we reuse and retrofit existing housing stock and historic buildings. There is less construction debris, and less impact on the environment.” CPM’s corporate commitment to green building dates back to 2008 and is born out of a deep respect for our tenants. The majority of them are low-income individuals, and many are living with special needs, such as a mental health diagnosis or a physical disability. Most of them would not typically have access to high quality, energy efficient homes like this otherwise. Currently, CPM’s portfolio includes 305 green affordable units in 51 LEED certified buildings and 59 Enterprise Green Communities buildings. More information on these properties can be found in CPM’s Portfolio pages. About the 2013 Challenge The Delaware Valley Green Building Council’s 2013 Challenge was developed to highlight the sustainable initiatives underway throughout the Delaware Valley as a prelude to the city’s center-stage position as the host of the 2013 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo in November of 2013.
