(Warwick, R.I.) Congressman Jim Langevin joined a majority of the New England Congressional Delegation in Boston on today at New England Innovation: Ideas for the Region’s Energy Future - A Congressional Summit. Last week, when the House considered legislation to create a National Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Langevin successfully offered an amendment requiring the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create and maintain an Internet-based clearinghouse of information regarding green building techniques. This Green Building Clearinghouse will serve as a "one-stop-shop" for Trust Fund applicants who would like to build green housing, but lack the knowledge and resources to effectively carry it out. |
