Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) has revealed that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted $400,000 to the Community Housing Partners (CHP) in Christiansburg, Virginia. This funding is part of the DOE's Buildings Upgrade Prize, which recognizes organizations that are making strides in energy efficiency and efficient electrification building upgrade initiatives.

In a statement, Congressman Griffith emphasized the importance of this award for CHP, stating, "The Department of Energy's award of $400,000 to Community Housing Partners will help the organization continue their mission of providing affordable and sustainable housing for lower-income individuals in rural communities."

This grant comes as a result of CHP's efforts to promote energy efficiency and sustainable housing solutions. Congressman Griffith himself visited the CHP Energy Solutions Research and Training Center in Christiansburg back in 2019 to witness the organization's work in training energy professionals.

The funding provided by the DOE will undoubtedly be instrumental in advancing CHP's mission and allowing them to expand their reach. With this financial support, CHP will be able to continue providing affordable housing options to those who need it the most.

CHP has a long-standing commitment to serving rural communities and ensuring that individuals with lower incomes have access to safe and sustainable housing. This grant will enable them to further their efforts in improving energy efficiency and promoting environmentally friendly practices.

The Buildings Upgrade Prize, awarded by the DOE, recognizes the significance of organizations like CHP in creating a more sustainable future. By investing in energy efficiency and electrification initiatives, these organizations are not only reducing energy consumption but also contributing to the overall well-being of the communities they serve.

As Congressman Griffith aptly stated, "The Department of Energy's award of $400,000 to Community Housing Partners will help the organization continue their mission of providing affordable and sustainable housing for lower-income individuals in rural communities."

With this generous grant, CHP will undoubtedly make a significant impact on the lives of many individuals in Christiansburg and beyond, ensuring that they have access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing options.
