Castellan Real Estate Partners is a fully integrated investment firm that undertakes development, lending, property management, and more. Dedicated to green development of its property portfolio, Castellan Real Estate Partners has partnered with Harlem Community Development Corporation (HCDC) to install solar panels on the roof of one of its properties and to undertake other weatherization projects. HCDC helps individuals in Harlem and surrounding communities take advantage of opportunities to improve their homes and neighborhoods. One of the major services that HCDC provides for the community is connection to the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), which provides federal funding for weatherization projects for qualifying families. HCDC can determine eligibility for individuals and entire buildings, and then discuss potential improvements for reducing energy consumption and making homes safer. Projects covered by WAP grants include lighting upgrades, roof insulation, heating system conversions, and smoke detector installation. Funding for the grants comes from the US Departments of Energy and Health and Human Services. Law prevents any increases in rent for improvements completed using these grants, which are meant to decrease energy demands while educating citizens about green practices.
