Both Yolo County and the city of Davis are exploring climate solutions and going green.
So is Habitat for Humanity Yolo County with its newest low-income housing build, the Heidrick Ranch half-plex with funding support from PG&E and Habitat's executive director with her climate change project for the City of Davis.
'For the last several years, PG&E has provided grants to local Habitat affiliates to enable us to incorporate solar panels into our new construction projects. In 2008, we received $30,000 to incorporate solar panels into the half-plexes we are building here in Woodland,' stated Diana Walker-Smith, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Yolo County.
'Solar panels, care-of PG&E, were included in the three homes HFHYC completed in 2008 and these homeowners are paying just a fraction for monthly utilities as the majority of Yolo County residents' pay. For us, here at Habitat, it not just about building homes for low-income families, but building homes low-income families can afford to maintain and operate.'"
