Program:

The Home Depot Foundation’s Awards of Excellence for Sustainable Community Development recognizes public-private partnerships
that have successfully developed projects and/or initiatives that promote and
exemplify a more sustainable community. The program seeks to recognize
sustainable projects that take a holistic, integrated approach, whereby
sustainability planning, affordable housing, and the creation of green spaces
and planting of trees are inextricably linked. Applications are evaluated
based on how well the projects or initiatives meet criteria in the categories
of overarching sustainability, environmental sustainability, and green
infrastructure. Projects should have been completed between January 1, 2006,
and December 31, 2009.
