Announcing the DAHN 2025 Learn at Lunch Series
HDC launched our Decarbonize Affordable Housing Now (DAHN) Program to assist our members with transforming our community’s affordable housing through decarbonization.
This summer, we are launched a series of virtual meetings to share expertise from those leading the decarbonization journey with regulatory, resource, technology, and logistical expertise; and importantly, to engage and learn from you—to better understand what you need.
Asset managers, property managers and funders of affordable housing will be responsible for timely decisions to achieve the desired and required outcomes. Please join us to have your voices heard so that we develop effective tools and resources to create meaningful assistance. Virtual events are scheduled using our “Learn at Lunch” format:
