Support Build It Green’s mission to connect and nurture housing system changemakers to do collaborative work that transforms California’s neighborhoods into affordable, equitable, and healthy spaces by supporting our areas of work:

Small Development Incubator

To address California’s housing affordability crisis, our state must build millions of new homes over the next several years. A large share of these homes will come from large housing developments producing dozens, hundreds, and in some cases even thousands of units.

Regenerative Neighborhoods Initiative

California is facing a growing set of interconnected challenges: climate change and environmental degradation, unaffordability and economic inequality, racial discrimination, and failing infrastructure.

Builder and Developer Affinity Group

Moving California’s housing ecosystem beyond just producing units demands a shift in how we think about development and building.

California Housing System Innovators Network

The California Housing System Innovators Network brings together participants from across Build It Green’s programs and a wide range of partners working to transform California’s housing system
