From YouTube: Massachusetts Climate Bank Announcement
Description
Governor Maura Healey was joined by Mayor Wu and multiple state officials in announcing the launch of the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank, a program that will provide funds for the construction of green infrastructure and green affordable housing.
A
All

well
good

It's
it's
great

I

because
this
is
a
significant
and
exciting
announcement
and
it
really
does
represent
a
win-win-win
for
so
so
many
and
you
don't
always
get

make
those
kinds
of
announcements,
but

announcement.
So

We

lot
about
team
Massachusetts,
the
LG
and
I,
and
this
is
what
team
Massachusetts
looks
like
folks
in
the
administration.
Folks,
outside
of
the
administration,

Partners

Private
Industry
and

the
NGO
community,

our
community
development
efforts,
our
Mass

and
mass
development
head
Dan
Rivera
who
bring
deep
expertise
in
their
work
and
finally,

us
is
Mayor
Michelle
Wu.
We
are
so
lucky
to
have
the
nation's
climate
mayor,
leading
our
capital
city,
and
we
are
grateful
to
her
for
our
continued
partnership
on
so
many
fronts.
So
thank
you,
one
and
all.
A
Now,
importantly,
looking
out,
here's
what
I
see
I
see
our
passionate
environmental
Advocates,
our
dedicated
housing
Advocates,
our
friends
and
allies
in
the
labor
movement,
our
partners
in
the
banking
and
finance
sector.
Together,
everyone
committed
to
making
Massachusetts
the
world's
climate
Leader
by
bringing
all
the
benefits
of
a
green
and
resilient
economy
to
all
the
people
of
our
state.
Today,
we're
taking
a
big
step
forward
in
that
direction.
We
are
thrilled
to
launch
the
Massachusetts
Community
climate
Bank
foreign.
A
The
climate
bank
is
a
financial
engine
for
cutting
emissions
and
improving
Health,
Equity
and
Financial
Security
in
our
communities.
It's
going
to
unlock
and
Advance
a
wide
range
of
Green
Building
and
renovation
projects,
and
it's
going
to
do
that
by
investing
in
affordable
homes
all
across
the
state.
A
green
bank
is
something
that
I
made
a
priority
in
our
campaign.
We
spoke
about
this
because
we
viewed
it
as
an
opportunity
that
we
believe
can
be
transformational.
A
The
Biden
Administration
is
making
historic
levels
of
funding
available
for
clean
energy,
carbon
reduction
and
climate
action,
we're
talking
about
billions
of
dollars
in
grant
funding,
tax
credits
and
more
through
the
inflation
reduction
Act.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
get
on
track
to
meet
our
Net
Zero
2050
Target,
to
lead
the
nation's
clean
energy
transition
with
Massachusetts
Innovation
and
to
strengthen
our
economy
and
our
communities,
and
this
is
the
opportunity
that
we
are
seizing.
Today.
A
We
have
an
incredible
Congressional
Delegation
working
with
us
and
for
all
of
us,
Senator
Markey
was
co-author
of
the
National
Climate
Bank
legislation.
It
formed
the
basis
of
the
22
27
billion
dollar
greenhouse
gas
reduction
Fund
in
the
ira
that
will
come
into
play
later
this
year.
This
is
funding
that
we
are
expressly
and
intensively
working
to
leverage
through
this
Massachusetts
Community
climate
Bank
we've
created
new
positions
and
put
Administration
officials
in
place
to
lead
our
advocacy.
A
A
Ours,
though,
is
the
country's
first
climate
bank
that
is
dedicated
to
housing,
affordable
housing
in
particular,
that
is,
the
primary
focus,
we're
centering
environmental
justice
for
folks
hit
hardest
by
the
climate
impacts
and
high
energy
costs.
One
study
estimates
that
here
in
Massachusetts
our
buildings
account
for
nearly
27
percent
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
but
in
many
of
our
Gateway
cities
and
environmental
justice
communities,
those
numbers
rise
to
almost
70
percent
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
A
So
we
know
this
work
is
important
and
that's
why
it
is
targeted
and
that's
why
it
is
unique
today,
through
this
vehicle,
we're
going
to
be
putting
forward
opportunities
tools
to
decarbonize
buildings,
which
are,
as
I
said,
a
major
source
of
emissions.
This
climate
bank
is
going
to
grow
over
time
to
address
the
Urgent
needs
across
this
sector,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
innovate
and
finance
deep
energy,
retrofits
on-site,
electric
vehicle
charging
and
solar
projects
that
will
demonstrate
the
viability
of
these
Technologies
at
a
community-wide
scale.
A
In
addition
to
doing
things
that
you
all
understand,
insulation,
better
Windows,
better
roofs,
all
of
these
things
contribute
to
Energy.
Efficiency
will
help
greatly
reduce
emissions.
This
is
about
creating
green
livable
communities,
which
is
also
why
we
intentionally
put
Community
right
in
the
name.
The
community
climate
bank
is
going
to
be
based
in
Mass
housing,
the
agency,
which
finances,
affordable
development
and
first-time
home
ownership
in
our
state.
It's
going
to
be
run
in
partnership
with
our
Massachusetts
clean
energy
center
and
mass
development.
A
The
state's
development
Finance
Agency-
and
this
means
we're
going
to
be
able
to
really
hit
the
ground
running,
which
is
exactly
what
we
want
to
do.
We're
seating
it
with
50
million
dollars
and
that's
going
to
allow
us
to
leverage,
then
both
private
investment
and
the
unprecedented
Federal
funding
streams
that
I
just
mentioned.
This
funding
is
going
to
support,
building
and
retrofitting
affordable
homes
across
our
state.
For
example,
first-time
home
buyers
could
get
access
to
technologies
that
slash
both
their
emissions
and
their
energy
bills.
A
I
just
made
mention
of
some
of
the
concrete
ways
that
can
happen.
Non-Profit
developers
importantly
are
going
to
get
access
to
Capital.
That
makes
possible
a
net
zero
development
serving
hundreds
of
families
and
the
state
will
have
an
opportunity
to
rehab
and
retrofit
older
existing
properties.
This
includes
affordable
sites.
It
includes
our
public
housing
stock,
that's
in
need
of
repair
all
by
getting
access
to
new
federal
climate
funds
and
in
each
case,
residents
are
going
to
end
up
with
high
quality,
affordable
homes
and
lower
energy
costs.
A
Massachusetts
communities
become
Greener,
more
affordable
and
more
livable
places
for
families
and
businesses
to
grow,
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
jobs.
There's
one
state
recently
that
did
this:
it's
estimated
that
it
generated
5,
000
new
jobs,
so
we're
really
excited
about
what
this
means
for
economic
growth.
A
A
When
I
talk
about
climate
change
as
our
biggest
threat,
I
also
say
that
it's
our
greatest
opportunity
and
I
really
really
mean
that
and
that's
what
today
represents
the
community
climate
bank
is
an
opportunity
to
help
meet
our
emissions
targets
and
to
protect
our
environment.
It's
also
an
opportunity
to
relieve
the
extreme
pressure
that
residents
and
families
are
feeling
here
in
the
state
when
it
comes
to
housing.
A
It's
an
opportunity
to
create
good
jobs
with
access
through
education
through
training
pipelines,
we're
going
to
work
with
our
friends
in
labor
and
we're
going
to
work
to
support
our
new
initiative.
Mass
Talent,
which
is
about
creating
new
pipelines
working
with
labor
community
colleges
and
employers.
A
Finally,
and
most
importantly,
it's
an
opportunity
for
healthier
communities
all
across
Massachusetts
where
people
can
breathe
cleaner
air
and
young
people
especially,
will
be
able
to
grow
up
in
a
world
where
they
can
reach
their
full
potential.
The
climate
bank
will
make
our
state
more
attractive,
more
competitive,
more
affordable
and
more
Equitable.
It's
going
to
show
that
once
again
here
in
Massachusetts,
we
can
lead.
We
can
lead
not
only
this
country.
We
can
lead
the
World
by
Leading
with
our
values
and
leaving
no
one
behind
leading
with
our
strength
or
Ingenuity.
A
Our
work
ethic
to
get
things
done
so
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
worked
really
hard
to
make
this
happen
because
it's
just
been
six
months,
and
this
is
something
we
had
as
an
idea.
It
took
an
incredible
amount
of
innovation
and
thought
to
make
sure
that
we
got
it
to
the
place
where
we
were
ready
to
to
go
Prime
Time
with
it.
A
That
day
has
come
thanks
to
the
great
efforts
of
so
many
here
alongside
me,
and
so
many
of
you
out
here
in
this
room
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
working
so
hard
to
make
this
a
reality.
It's
a
big
deal,
that's
why
that
check
is
written
out.
It
truly
is
for
the
people
of
Massachusetts
I
now
want
to
invite
to
the
podium,
Senator,
Cindy,
cream
who's.
Chair
of
the
committee
on
global
warming
and
climate
change
a
long
time
Champion
for
really
strong,
bold
Environmental
Policy.
Here
in
Massachusetts,
we
welcome
chair
cream.
B
Entrepreneur
and
thank
you
to
the
governor
of
the
lieutenant
governor
Chief
Hoffer
secretary
tepa,
for
your
commitment
to
achieve
Massachusetts
emission
reduction
mandates
and
also
for
your
commitment
to
climate
resilience
and
adaption
I'm,
proud
to
be
part
of
this
team.
It's
even
bigger
than
the
cream
team
I'm
excited
that
Massachusetts
Community
climate
bank
will
bend
it
from
the
expertise
will
benefit
from
the
expertise.
B
So
thrilled
about
that
I'm
excited
that
the
climate
bank
is
focused
on
two
areas:
Brazilians
and
housing
decarbonization
that
have
also
been
important
priorities
for
the
Massachusetts
Senate
last
session,
through
the
leadership
of
Senate
presidents,
bilker
and
Senator
Barrett,
who
I
see
here
today,
the
legislature
created
a
groundbreaking
program
that
will
enable
10
communities
to
restrict
the
use
of
fossil
fuels
in
new
construction.
It
was
also
through
the
leadership
of
the
house
and
chairman
Roy,
so
I
give
everybody
credit
here
as
proud
as
we
are
of
that
accomplishment.
B
We
recognize
that
addressing
emissions
from
existing
buildings
is
the
unfinished
work
before
us.
This
session
in
January
I
filed
legislation
that
would
create
a
revolving
Loan
Fund
administered
by
Mass
housing
to
help
Finance
projects,
projects
to
retrofit
and
Electrify
residential
buildings
and
I'm
delighted
to
see
that
the
governor's
team
is
on
the
same
page,
great
minds
that
think
alike.
B
The
Healy
administration's
climate
bank
is
going
to
make
it
much
easier
for
us
to
take
on
the
challenge
of
decarbonizing
millions
of
homes
across
the
Commonwealth.
The
salmon,
the
Senate
and
the
climate
committee
eye
chair
have
also
been
focusing.
Our
attention
on
climate
resilience
and
adaptation
resilience
is
something
the
Forgotten
stepchild
of
climate
policy
and
I'm
so
glad
to
see
that
it's
a
core
part
of
the
Massachusetts
climate
Bank.
B
The
financing
made
available
for
resilience
investments
will
make
us
a
healthier
and
safer
Commonwealth
in
the
face
of
rising
Seas
extreme
heat
and
more
frequent
and
more
intense
storms.
I'm
grateful
to
the
Healy
Administration
for
acting
so
quickly
to
make
the
climate
Bank
a
reality
and
I
look
forward
to
partnership
being
with
you
to
partnering
with
you
on
its
long-term
implementation.
C
Thank
you,
Senator.
Thank
you.
Governor
Healy,
lieutenant
governor
Driscoll,
everyone
from
all
of
our

Our,
Community,
Partners,
City
officials,
who
are
here
and
and
representatives
from
every
level
of
government.
Thank
you
for
hosting
us
in
this
beautiful
space,
which
is
now
not
only
we're
surrounded
by
the
folios
and
leaves
of
legislative
documents
dating
back
hundreds
of
years,
but
actual
Lush,
Woody
green
here
so
shout
out
to
DCR
for
creating
the
right
tone.
C
I
know
we'll
get
these
in
the
ground
while
still
a
cool
day
and
and
we're
so
thrilled
to
to
be
here
with
people
who
have
been
dreaming
and
building
not
only
Massachusetts
leadership
in
first
public
libraries
and
and
the
commitments
to
passing
on
our
shared
intellectual
history
and
culture,
our
public
education,
but
now
really
setting
a
stake
in
the
ground,
with
the
leadership
of
the
Healey
Driscoll
Ministry
nation,
that
we
are
going
to
be
the
city
and
Commonwealth
known
for
investing
in
the
public
good
for
a
long
time
to
come.
C
I
want
to
thank
also
the
green
ribbon
commission
and
Bank
of
America,
as
they
were
original
partners
with
the
city
of
Boston
more
than
two
years
ago,
under
the
leadership
of
some
of
the
folks
here
and
continued
with
our
chief
of
energy
environment
and
open
space,
Reverend
mariama
white
Hammond
and
her
team.
We're
also
joined
today
by
our
Green
New
Deal,
director
Oliver
Oliver
sellers
Garcia,
who
was
in
the
back
of
the
room
over
there
as
well.
C
I
also
want
to
give
a
thank
you
to
our
environment.
Department
commissioner
Allison
frizzius
to
Brad
swing,
our
director
of
energy
policy
and
programs,
as
well
as
our
Chief
Financial
Officer,
Ashley,
grafenberger
and
director
of
alternative
Finance
Jerica
Bradley
for
their
critical
work
in
helping
us
think
through
how
we
can
best
be
a
partner
to
support
the
state.
In
this
effort.
C
A
green
New
Deal
for
Boston
means
taking
action
that
is
bigger,
Bolder
and
more
creative
to
innovate,
solutions
that
don't
just
focus
on
climate
change
in
isolation,
but
create
opportunities
for
us
to
address
multiple
challenges
where
they
intersect
all.
At
the
same
time,
we've
been
working
in
partnership
with
every
level
of
government
and
are
so
thankful
to
the
Healey,
Driscoll
Administration
and
all
the
partners
here,
the
private
sector
labor
and
Community
to
lay
a
solid
foundation
for
decarbonizing
housing,
especially
affordable
housing
and
public
housing.
C
It
focuses
specifically
on
large,
affordable,
multi-family
housing,
in
line
with
our
commitment
to
make
Boston,
not
only
the
greenest
city
in
the
country,
but
the
best
place
to
raise
a
family.
We've
already
seen
the
impact
that
makes
on
individuals
and
residents
family
members
who
will
be
able
to
live
in
healthy,
clean
and
more
cost
efficient
homes,
while
also
creating
jobs
that
are
directly
helping
to
put
food
on
the
table
for
our
residents.
C
At
the
same
time
and
building
an
economy
that
will
be
the
leading
the
way
when
it
comes
to
jobs
of
the
future,
to
build
a
model
that
really
works.
We
are
so
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
unlock
more
financing
to
scale
our
examples
across
Boston
and
the
entire
state.
We
have
a
pipeline
full
of
projects
already
that
will
benefit
from
the
new
Massachusetts
Community
climate
bank
and
its
mission.
C
Fossil
fuel
Free
Housing
is
one
of
those
critical
intersections
where
climate
Quality
of
Life
Health,
Equity
and
economic
Justice
meet,
and
we're
so
grateful
that
leaders
in
the
state
house
in
this
Administration
understand
the
importance
of
seizing
the
opportunity
in
front
of
us
to
accelerate
decarbonization
across
our
homes,
workplaces
and
shared
spaces.
Boston
is
one
of
those
communities
where
more
than
70
percent
of
our
emissions
come
from
buildings
and
of
those
buildings.
C
Many
of
them
are
the
beautiful
historic
but
much
older
homes
that
very
much
need
support
in
energy
retrofits
that
will
secure
what
it
means
to
live
in
our
communities
for
a
long
time
to
come.
The
creation
of
this
State
Community
climate
bank
will
also
help
seed
and
attract
more
investment
from
every
sector
as
well.
It
will
unlock
the
next
level
of
funding
available
through
the
inflation
reduction
act,
as
mentioned.
It
will
also
help
us
reach
and
connect
with
those
matching
programs
that
are
now
being
developed

This
Bank,
therefore,
will
pay
a
play:
a
crucial
role
in
decreasing
the
overall
cost
of
living
in
Boston
decarbonizing,
affordable
housing,
sharing
the
social
and
economic
benefits
of
the
green
economy,
with
more
of
our
communities
and
advancing
environmental
justice
for
our
EJ
communities.
Those
who
are
in
greatest
need
of
services
we're
grateful
to
this
Administration
for
recognizing
the
urgency
of
bringing
together
resources
across
Industries
and
sectors
to
address
the
climate
crisis,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
partner
with
the
state
and
the
community
climate
Bank
to
make
meaningful
investments
in
our
communities.
D
Congratulations
to
all
of
my
colleagues.
It
is
rare.
It
is
truly
rare
to
find
ourselves
with
the
opportunity
for
transformation
at
the
size
and
the
level
of
this
particular
Bank,
coupled
with
what's
going
on
in
Washington
transformation
on
unprecedented
levels
and
sizes
in
three
of
the
most
interconnected
and
compelling
areas
of
our
life,
whether
it's
climate
change,
housing,
Justice
and
equity,
and
a
sustainable
economy,
this
bank
will
have
a
role
in
all
of
those
things.
D
I
am
Mindy,
Luber
I
do
work
with
150
global
companies
and
700
investors
to
integrate
sustainability,
climate
change
into
everything
they
do
from
The
Boardroom
to
the
supply
chain
from
their
employees
to
their
Investments,
how
they
manage
it,
how
they
set
climate
goals
and
what
they're
doing
to
meet
those
goals
and
the
reality
is
not.
Everybody
is
acting
at
a
pace
we
want,
but
there
is
extraordinary
progress
in
the
private
sector,
progress
that
is
looking
to
couple
with
the
kind
of
work
that
Commonwealth
is
announcing
today
and
doing
think
about
it
as
well.
D
The
IRA
369
billion
dollars
the
infrastructure,
Bill
three
trillion
dollars
or
close
to
3
trillion.
That
is
transformative
and
it
will
only
work
if
it's
coupled
with
sound
smart,
reasonable
State
programs
and
local
programs
that
could
do
the
job
and
get
it
done.
I'm,
not
sure
we
have
seen
anything
more
transformational
or
the
potential
for
or
that
we
will
I
want
to
say
something
else.
D
They
also
work
on
the
executive
committee
or
as
a
member
of
the
green
ribbon
commission
and
it's
another
example
of
where
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
is
about
bringing
together
the
private
sector
and
the
public
sector
to
see
the
kind
of
results.
We
need.
The
community
climate
bank
today
that
we're
announcing
and
really
it
is
extraordinary.
It
is
a
model
nationally.
D
D
The
challenges
are
clear,
but
the
opportunity
is
even
more
clear,
so
there
cannot
be,
in
my
mind,
a
much
better
use
of
these
State
funds
than
to
unlock
all
the
federal
and
private
money
to
help
equitably
clean
up
buildings
across
Massachusetts.
It
is
precisely
the
kind
of
smart
thinking
that
has
made
Massachusetts
a
climate
leader
to
this
point
and
congratulations
for
this
new
model.
Thank
you
and
back
to
you
governor.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you
so
much
to
all
of
our
speakers,
for
your
comments
and
and
for
your
partnership,
both
in
days
leading
up
to
today
and
and
then
being
here
today.
A
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
somebody
really
important
on
our
team,
and
that
is
our
chief
legal
counsel,
Paige
Scott
Reed,
because
without
her
involvement,
none
of
this
would
have
worked.
We
were
doing
something
that
hadn't
been
done
before
and
we
were
creating
something
that
had
not
been
created
before,
and
it
required
a
lot
of
thinking
through
about
how
to
how
to
get
all
our
different
entities
and
elements
within
an
Administration
working
together.
So
Paige
are
really
grateful
to
you
for
your
work.
A
Thanks
to
the
good
work
of
of
DCR,
we
were
provided
some
trees
here
for
today's
press
conference
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
they
will
soon
be
planted,
which
is
which
is
beautiful,
but
we
appreciate
not
only
this
room
but
also
the
presence
of
of
the
trees.
So
you
know
the
way
I
think
about
it.
A
It
was
described
to
me
as
well.
I'll
say
this.
First
of
all,
it's
a
great
vehicle.
You
have
to
set
up
a
vehicle
both
to
seat
it
with
some
some
State
funding,
but
also,
most
importantly,
as
a
way
to
attract
additional
funding.
I
talked
about
the
funding
that
we're
going
to
get
hopefully
from
the
federal
government
we're
going
hard.
After
all,
that
funding,
there's
almost
a
trillion
dollars.
Remember
out
there
in
the
different
pieces
of
legislation
that
have
been
passed
bipartisan
by
the
way
signed
by
President
Biden.
A
So
it's
seed
money
from
the
state.
That's
going
to
be
coupled
with
Federal
funding
that
we're
going
to
apply
for
and
importantly,
attracting
attracting
investment
and
tracking
capital
from
private
sources,
and
that's
why
there
was
reference
to
some
of
the
financial
institutions
who
are
in
the
room
today,
some
in
the
investment
Community.
This
is
a
hot
area.
People
see
the
need
for
this
as
a
really
wise,
Strategic
investment.
So
this
is
the
way
it's
going
to
work
to
really
boil
it
down.
A
It
was
described
to
me
by
the
person
who
maybe
was
the
architect
of
some
of
this,
so
as
Hamburger
Helper,
remember,
Hamburger
Helper
you're,
making
a
meal
right.
So
so
it
really
enhances
everything
and
it
leverages.
You
know
what
we're
able
to
do.
If
you
look
at
certain
States,
you
know
we
see
in
one
state,
for
example,
that
set
up
a
a
climate
Bank,
not
as
Innovative
or
as
targeted
as
what
we're
looking
to
do
here,
but
it
was
a
climate
Bank.
A
Nonetheless,
they
were
able
to
attract
for
every
dollar
public
dollar
that
it
went
in.
They
were
able
to
attract
seven
dollars
in
private
investment.
That's
huge!
So
that's
what
we're
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
way
this
worked,
it's
growing
money,
it's
growing
money
as
I'm.
Looking
at
the
trees,
it's
growing
money
that
is
going
to
be
plowed
directly
into
development.
In
some
places
you
may
live
in
a
community
where
there
are
some
Old
Mill
buildings,
you
may
live
in
public
housing.
You
know,
that's
that's
falling
apart.
A
You
may
live
in
buildings
that
simply
need
to
be
rehabbed
right.
There's
a
lot
of
old
buildings
in
Massachusetts,
so
those
places
we're
gonna,
get
workers
in
there
and
they're
going
to
up
and
do
that
work
and
you're
going
to
end
up
with
a
more
energy
efficient
building.
That
also
is
reducing
emissions
in
that
community.
A
In
other
places,
we're
going
to
see
new
construction
delighted
to
see
the
number
of
developers
that
we
have
in
the
room
here
today
who
understand
you,
know
the
value
proposition
and
know
that
through
a
vehicle
like
this,
the
math
can
actually
work
where
you
can
go
out
and
build
new
housing
and
in
particular,
affordable
housing,
which
we
know
is
really
needed
here
across
the
state.
So
you
know
that's
probably
too
long.
An
answer
Sherman,
but
but
you
know
that
that's
basically
what
this,
what
this
does
and
it's
it's,
a
it's
a
fund.
A
You
know
that's
going
to
be
there
administered
as
as
well
by
by
Mass
housing,
which
has
the
expertise
in
doing
the
math
and
getting
financing
out
the
door
to
places,
and
we
hope
to
have
a
lot
of
interest
and
a
lot
of
appetite
for
for
these
kinds
of
Investments.
F
A
Had
a
feeling
I'd
be
asked
that
question:
that's
a
question:
okay
and
here's.
What
I
was
told
I
could
say
know
that
some
of
that
funding-
you
know
the
federal
funding
is
still
in
the
process
of
being
let
out
the
door
and
programmer
primaries
and
eligibility
being
set.
We're
all
going
to
be
in
the
process
of
applying
for
that.
But
that
should
not
stop
the
work.
A
That's
happening
right
now
in
their
real
time,
and
there
will
be
real-time
conversations
with
developers
and
communities
about
what
we
can
do,
what
projects
we
can
look
to
start
and
and
really
get
going
with.
So
you
know
I
really
hope
that
over
the
next
coming
months,
you
know
we're
working
towards
a
plan
for
particular
projects
in
communities
really
really
excited
about
the
involvement
of
so
many
of
our
Grassroots
organizations
and
Community
organizations
who
have
been
really
driving
change
and
leading
on
this.
But
the
answer
is
very
very
soon.
A
I
think
all
of
the
above
is
the
idea.
I
mean
and
that's
sort
of
what
is
exciting
about
this.
We're
prepared
to
focus
in
the
first
instance
on
affordable
housing
that
doesn't
close
the
door
down
the
line
to
other
forms
of
investment
in
other
things.
That
will
help
us
address
our
our
climate
imperative.
But
Our
intention
is
to
be
nimble
to
make
this
a
a
maximum
utility
by
the
the
greatest
number,
but
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
that's
smart
and
thoughtful
and
targeted,
because
you
know
we
don't
want
anything
Half
Baked.
A
A
I
promise
anybody
else
on
this
topic.
Is
there
anything
I
missed
no
Okay,
no
Okay
exciting
day
again.
Many
many
thanks
to
all
the
partners
represented
in
this
room.
