A Model Block for Energy Efficiency

Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, America's first community development corporation, and the Coalition for the Improvement of Bedford Stuyvesant are working with the Pratt Center to make the neighborhood a model for improving energy efficiency in low-income urban neighborhoods.
