Valley CDC celebrated the groundbreaking of Prospect Place, a former nursing home that will become 60 affordable apartments. An awardee for the Climate Ready Housing Program, Valley CDC purchased the building in 2022 with ambitious plans to decarbonize the property, reducing energy use by 77%.

This month, we got to catch up with Bridges to Green Jobs graduate, William Gomez-Pereira, who completed the program in September 2023 and is now working as an Energy Auditor in his hometown of Chelsea, MA. But that is not where his journey began, nor where it ends.

We're excited to have Joseph De Larauze join the LISC Massachusetts team as Program Officer, Green Homes. Joe brings experience in building decarbonization, climate resiliency, and equity in underserved communities.
