Saint Vincent De Paul Lane County
This award recognizes the many years and projects SVdP has worked to build infrastructure for low-income housing, including the preservation efforts for mobile home parks across the state. In particular, the Stellar Apartments project served as a beacon of community collaboration. Not only did the project provide needed housing, but it also served as an educational tool for university students to analyze various energy savings construction types, including the first multi-family housing to be designed to Passive House standards in the United States.
