The Sustainability Institute (SI) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower the South Carolina Low Country region’s most vulnerable communities to achieve housing security, equity, and climate resilience. SI uses an innovative approach to provide access to home repairs and energy efficiency for families in economically disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities and provides workforce training efforts to create the next generation of conservation workers in the region. Our partnership will provide pre-weatherization and critical home improvements for households in under-resourced communities in Charleston County, South Carolina where high rates of energy poverty are found.
