Green Future: New Hampshire to Benefit from $1.2 Million in Eco-Housing Grants

Congressman Chris Pappas has successfully secured a significant financial boost for New Hampshire’s housing sector, announcing a $1.2 million federal grant aimed at enhancing eco-friendly housing across the state. This development marks a pivotal moment for New Hampshire’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship in its housing projects.

The announcement was made during Pappas’ visit to Portsmouth, a city at the forefront of the green housing initiative. The congressman inspected the latest upgrades at Feaser Apartments, which include a state-of-the-art energy-efficient roof, showcasing the practical applications of the funding. This project is just one example of how the federal dollars will be put to work, creating more sustainable living spaces for residents.

Moreover, the Portsmouth Housing Authority outlined an ambitious plan to further the city’s greener future. By the end of the decade, Portsmouth aims to add 1,500 new housing units, all designed with eco-friendly principles in mind. This initiative not only addresses the urgent need for more housing but also ensures that new constructions are aligned with environmental sustainability goals.

Through these efforts, Congressman Pappas and the Portsmouth community are setting a benchmark for the integration of eco-consciousness into urban development. The federal funding is not just an investment in housing but a step towards a cleaner, greener New Hampshire.
