SUMMARY:Aquifers - Threats and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:​Panel discussion on Groundwater/Aquifer Threats and Solutions by members of the Presidents Council of Science and Technology. This is the official\, public presentation of their findings and recommendations. \n​This is a critical discussion for those who like to have reliable drinking water. \n​The U.S. is facing a serious and unprecedented groundwater challenge. Across the U.S.\, groundwater withdrawal has outpaced natural recharge\, while slow natural recharge has been exacerbated by climate change and precipitation variability\, including floods\, droughts\, and early snowmelt. Groundwater is a critical resource for agriculture\, domestic manufacturing\, construction\, mining\, energy production\, and other uses. \n​The largest use of groundwater\, at 70%\, is for irrigation. Moreover\, groundwater supplies drinking water for half the U.S. population and nearly all the rural population. Sustaining and securing groundwater is thus central to our Nation’s health\, food\, water\, and energy security\, and economy. Adding to the challenge\, much of the water in the major aquifers in the U.S. is fossil water\, meaning it was last recharged over 10\,000 years ago and will not be replaced naturally in centuries and millennia. In the western U.S.\, groundwater resources are being depleted at alarming rates. \n​The depletion has caused land subsidence and earth fissures as well as permanent reduction of storage capacity due to inelastic compaction of the subsurface formation.

SUMMARY:34th Annual Affordable Housing Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 34th annual Affordable Housing Summit. “The Future of Affordable Housing: Weathering the Storm”. \nLast year’s summit attracted over 600 concerned professionals and citizens\, including community and business leaders\, housing experts\, and activists and this year’s summit promises to be equally enriching. Through diverse panels and open discussion\, we will distill the best ways to fight for continued improvements in access to affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households. \nAlongside our panel discussions\, we also feature initiatives that directly support homebuyers and promote housing accessibility. Our “Breaking the Barrier to Homeownership” contest allows first-time homebuyers to receive closing cost assistance for their first home purchase. Since 2001\, AHCMC and our sponsors have provided over $400\,000 in support to more than 40 moderate-income individuals and families through this grant program. \nTo further enrich our conference activities each year\, we have been fortunate to host a variety of leaders from HUD and local government\, who have played a key role in shaping our discussions. In years past\, we have had the distinct privilege of hosting former HUD Secretaries and officials who have shared their insights on the housing crisis and its impact on our community. Their expertise has helped drive important conversations and deepen our understanding of the challenges and opportunities in affordable housing. \n

Who does it impact? Why should you care? We’re laying it all out—no jargon\, just straight-up facts to help you understand what’s coming and how to stay ahead. \nSession 2: Practical Implementation Strategies \nFrom plan to practice—get the tools and tips you need to take action. \nSession 3: Beyond Compliance – Long-Term Strategies \nSustainability isn’t a checkbox—strategies to create lasting impact and long-term value. \nSession 4: Financing Your Sustainability Goals \nMoney talks. We’ll walk you through all the local programs\, funding\, and incentives out there—from DCSEU to DC Green Bank—to help you actually do the work without breaking the bank. \nThis isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation. Pack your lunch\, pull up a chair\, bring your questions\, and let’s build something better—together.

SUMMARY:Resilience as an Asset Class: The Role of Local Climate Finance in Housing and Community Investment.
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Montgomery County Green Bank’s Resilience Financing Program\, Protecting the Path to Net-Zero (PPNZ) \nAs climate impacts intensify\, federal resilience funding remains insufficient\, leaving billions in unmet resilience needs. Local green banks and CDFIs are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between community needs and private capital — but they require a model that works at the community scale while attracting sustained private investment. \nMontgomery County’s Protecting the Path to Net-Zero initiative demonstrates how a localized approach can de-risk investments and deliver measurable resilience ROI. \nDuring New York Climate Week\, join the Montgomery County Green Bank and technical partners PRE Collective\, AEI Consultants\, and Quantified Ventures for an in-depth look at PPNZ — a groundbreaking financing model that aligns private capital with scalable resilience strategies for housing and communities. This session will unveil a first-of-its-kind financial tool\, paired with a comprehensive technical framework\, to unlock catalytic capital for climate risk management\, water stewardship\, and health-focused housing improvements. From reduced operating costs to long-term savings through proactive resilience planning\, PPNZ illustrates how strategic investment—guided by standardized tools like the ASTM Property Resilience Assessment (PRA)—can unlock measurable value and risk-adjusted returns. This session will highlight the pivotal role of local green banks in designing market-enabling solutions that mobilize capital\, accelerate cross-sector collaboration\, and reframe resilience as an investable\, scalable opportunity. \nSpeakers \n\nSteve Morel\, CEO\, Montgomery County Green Bank\nLaura Mondragon\, Director of Climate Resilience and Adaptation\, Montgomery County Green Bank\nShalini Vajjhala\, Executive Director\, PRE COLLECTIVE\nTee Thomas\, CEO\, Quantified Ventures\nHelena Ariza\, Vice President\, Sustainability & Resilience\, AEI Consultants\n\n  \n✅ What You’ll Gain \n🔹 Transformative Perspective\nDiscover how local climate finance is driving market transformation.  \n🔹 Market-Relevant Insights\nExplore how PPNZ is creating new climate adaptation and resilience investment opportunities in the affordable housing sector.  \n🔹 Financial Strategy & Innovation\nUnderstand local financing structures that reduce investment risk while delivering measurable ROI. \n🔹 Cross-Sector Engagement\nConnect with leaders across finance\, policy\, and community development who are shaping the future of market-based resilience. \n🔹 Actionable Takeaways\nWalk away with strategies on how tailored\, needs-based financing can scale resilience across communities\, reduce climate risk exposure\, and drive long-term savings. \n🔹 On-the-Ground Tools\nLearn how tools like the ASTM E3429 Property Resilience Assessment (PRA)\, are informing smarter climate investments. \n  \nEvent Format:\nThe event will kick off with a networking session\, offering a chance to connect with peers across sustainable finance\, policy\, resilience\, housing\, and community development. This will be followed by an overview of the Montgomery County Green Bank’s Resilience Finance Program\, along with expert presentations highlighting investment opportunities and practical tools to guide effective resilience decision-making. We’ll conclude with a dynamic roundtable discussion focused on identifying tangible pathways for collaboration\, scaling\, and replication. \nWe look forward to welcoming you! \n
