Mutual Housing at Foothill Farms Grand Green-Reopening
Sacramento-based Mutual Housing California and the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency celebrated the grand green re-opening of Mutual Housing at Foothill Farms on April 27, 2017 at 5324 Hemlock Street, Sacramento. The $8.6 million renovation project greatly improves the quality of affordable housing for residents earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income. Originally built in the 1970’s, the energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable upgrades should decrease the energy consumption of the complex by 10 percent, an estimated savings of 34,462 kWh per year. As a result of the renovation, Mutual Housing at Foothill Farms became the nonprofit’s first existing community to receive a green-point rated whole-house label from Build It Green, the Oakland-based nonprofit that uses higher California energy standards as a the basis of its rating system.
