Шаблон:Short description EAH Housing is a nonprofit corporation which develops, manages, and operates affordable housing for low-income families, older adults, and persons with disabilities/special needs in California and Hawaii. It was founded in 1968.[1] The acronym used in its founding stands for Ecumenical Association for Housing, however today it does business simply as EAH Housing.[2]

History

EAH Housing has become one of the largest nonprofit housing development and management organizations in the western United States. With a staff of over 700, EAH develops low-income housing, manages over 230 properties in California and Hawaii, and plays a leadership role in local, regional and national housing advocacy efforts.[3] Starting from grass-roots origins in response to the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., EAH Housing now serves over 25,000 seniors, families, students, people with disabilities/special needs, frail elderly, and the formerly homeless.[4]

Sustainability efforts

In December 2010, EAH Housing was recognized with an honorable mention by the California Sustainability Alliance's Sustainability Showcase Awards.[5] The honor commends EAH for their commitment to providing sustainable and affordable multifamily housing to 25,000 families, students, people with disabilities, and seniors. EAH is a member of the Better Buildings Challenge, and is committed to reducing energy intensity by 20% within ten years.[6] EAH has 3.1 MW of on-site solar PV in their affordable housing portfolio, and is committed to an additional 20 projects – a total of nearly 10 megawatts.[7]
