Minnesota Sustainable Housing Initiative (MNSHI)

www.mnshi.umn.edu

Funded by a generous grant from the McKnight Foundation, this ongoing project provides ecological education as well as substantive support for greening Minnesota's affordable housing via a rich web site. The site provides detailed information on a variety of environmental topic areas, support for developers and designers working with the Green Communities Criteria, and information about special projects and case studies. As the site expands, it will include more information about best practices, specific processes and building assemblies and scales, and potentially support for other green rating systems and guidelines.
