Holos and Fernish Upgrade Residential Spaces and Combat Global Warming

Can we create micro-grids for water?
One of the ways to ensure that we conserve water is by using greywater systems to reduce usage of water. Given California’s tendency for droughts, recapturing and reusing water helps us in conserving water and ensuring that tenants have access to water in times of need.
How do we keep working through a blackout?
Part of our journey towards sustainability and resiliency emerged from our experiences with the power grid in the summer of 2019, when the Holos Communities (then Clifford Beers Housing) offices were impacted by power outages. Unfortunately, the blackout coincided with staff working towards a critical deadline.
Can our developments clean the air?
When designing and building developments, looking at how they integrate with the surrounding landmarks is a key part to ensuring that residents have the best quality of life.
How can we attract funding to solve multiple crises?
When it comes to developing affordable housing in an expedited manner that tackles concurrent crises, we need integrated solutions that solve for the lack of housing, the impacts of climate change and racial inequity together.
Can We Build Affordable Housing Without Relying On Tax Credits?
One of the most reliable vehicles in financing affordable housing today is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). While LIHTC is the primary tool in funding affordable housing, the process is lengthy and costly.
How Can We Make Our Existing Properties More Resilient To Climate Change?
Ensuring that our residents have access to the resources and utilities needed in case of an emergency is a challenge we at Holos Communities have been working to address.
