Green New Deal for Public Housing: Modernization and Ecology
This act aims to thoroughly modernize public housing in the U.S., transforming it into energy-efficient and ecological homes. Citizens can expect improved living conditions, access to clean energy, and new employment and training opportunities, especially for low-income individuals and formerly incarcerated persons. The act emphasizes resident participation in the change process and supports local resident-owned businesses.
Key points
Housing Modernization: Public housing will be renovated to be more energy-efficient, safe, and healthy, with new, eco-friendly appliances.

New Jobs: Grant programs will create employment and training opportunities for residents, especially low-income individuals, including formerly incarcerated persons, in modernization and green energy sectors.
Improved Quality of Life: The act provides for the construction and modernization of community centers, childcare facilities, gardens, as well as high-speed internet and infrastructure for bicycles and electric vehicles.
Resident Rights: Residents will have greater influence over the management and modernization of their communities and will receive support in case of temporary displacement.
Support for Local Businesses: Businesses owned by public housing residents will receive preferential treatment in contracts and support for development.
