EL PASO -- Project Bravo will begin its Green Affordable Housing project today in Montana Vista.

The group will mark the construction of the first green affordable home in the area.

The program is financed through a $149,212 HUD Rural Housing and Economic Development Capacity Building grant and $2.3 million in American Recovery Act funding. It is aimed at developing affordable, energy-efficient homes for low-income residents of the Montana Vista colonias.

The model home-office may include such features as solar cells or wind turbines for electricity, or solar collectors linked to seasonal thermal stores for space heating.
