Affordable LEED Home to be Built in Rockford

Affordable LEED Home Breaks Ground in Rockford

Comprehensive Community Solutions, Inc. (CCS) is building the first residential LEED project in Rockford, Illinois. The home at 913 Rockton is a five-bedroom, two-bath, two-story house of about 1,770 square feet, sited close to jobs, transit, and family amenities. CCS plans to pursue LEED Certified status and intends to build more LEED homes in the future, citing third-party verification and accountability for its funding sources.

The project is supported by City of Rockford HOME funds and a construction loan from Neighborhood Housing Services of Freeport, Illinois. It will be sold to a low- to moderate-income buyer at or below 80% of area median income, with downpayment assistance included. The purchase price is $85,000 for a move-in-ready home with five bedrooms, a two-car garage, all appliances, and energy-efficient features including enhanced insulation and HVAC design. No solar was used on this home.
