for Frontlines First Program  
Green For All, an initiative of Dream Corps, works to ensure that climate and clean-energy policies are well-designed and deliver economic, job creation, and public health benefits equitably. This grant will support Green For Alls Frontlines First program, which includes communications, advocacy, and collaboration efforts geared toward ensuring that the transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy benefits low-income communities and communities of color.
for communications and organizing efforts in support of implementing state clean power policies  
Fossil fuel companies are waging concerted PR campaigns, attempting to raise concerns among low-income communities and people of color about potential increases in electricity and transportation costs. Green For All, an initiative of Dream Corps, works to ensure that climate and clean-energy policies are well-designed and deliver economic, job creation, and public health benefits equitably. This grant will support the organizations engagement of communities of color in shaping strong Clean Power Plan state compliance plans. Green For All will specifically draw on efforts that have already been successful in some states.
for support of the Retrofit America's Cities program  
In order to phase out dirty sources of electricity, like coal, markets for energy efficiency and clean, renewable energy must be increased. Green For All promotes new policies to finance energy efficiency retrofits of existing multifamily affordable housing. Using previous Hewlett funding, Green For All secured a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement a demonstration project in Oregon. With continued support, Green For All would launch the demonstration project, document and publicize the benefits, and replicate it in at least two other areas to build momentum for adoption of the policy nationally.
