The DTE Foundation, Northern Michigan College and many local churches joined together to support our first LEED certified home. Walls were raised on September 17th, 2010 and the project is scheduled for completion in December. This build kicks off Habitat-Grand Traverse Region's commitment to a sustainable future for our families and our community.

LEED for Homes

LEED for Homes is a voluntary rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes, including affordable housing, mass- production homes, custom designs, stand-alone single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses, suburban and urban apartments and condominiums and lofts in historic buildings.

Does building "green" really make a difference? You bet it does!
