Green New Deal for Public Housing Act

The Green New Deal for Public Housing Act aims to modernize and rehabilitate U.S. public housing by upgrading it to be highly energy-efficient, all-electric, and equipped with renewable energy systems, while improving living standards and supporting domestic manufacturing. It establishes grant programs for workforce development, prioritizing partnerships that provide training, apprenticeships, and economic opportunities—including stipends, childcare, and support for resident-owned businesses—for low- and very-low-income individuals, particularly those formerly incarcerated. The bill emphasizes tenant participation, environmental justice, and the preservation of public housing as a sustainable safety net, with funding directed toward public housing agencies, tribes, and related entities to ensure compliance with building codes and assist displaced residents.
