Today ComEd announced CIC as one of three nonprofits selected to receive $450,000 from ComEd’s New Climate-Friendly Grant Assistance program.
The grant was created to expand and improve access to climate-friendly programs across northern Illinois. Governmental reports show climate change disproportionally impacts under-resourced communities. CIC will use this funding to help small, local owner-operators to implement building improvements that address the impact climate hazards have on the affordable rental housing industry.
“For nearly fifty years, CIC has championed the preservation of affordable rental housing, and I am thrilled that this grant will broaden access to clean energy resources for the small, local and minority-owned businesses that we work with,” said Stacie Young, President and CEO of CIC. “Improving a rental building’s resiliency and performance is critical for preserving affordability and maintaining high-quality units for tenants. This partnership with ComEd will create a path for Chicago’s small operators to invest in critical building improvements, participate in the clean energy economy, and address the impact of climate hazards on the housing industry.”
We look forward to partnering with ComEd and improving affordable housing resiliency across the Chicagoland area. For more information, view ComEd’s official press release.
