Free Webinar, HEMP 4 Humanity: All about the Farm to Frame Initiative, December 17, 12-1 pm ET
Event Description
Join GreenHome Institute to discuss the Farm to Frame Initiative (FFI), run by Hemp for Humanity, a Michigan-based nonprofit focused on providing affordable, high-performing, and sustainable housing to underserved, low-income communities. FFI will build key partnerships with local organizations and communities to develop a framework for workforce training, jobs, and environmentally healthy housing solutions. Through knowledge and access to locally grown hemp, they will engage these communities to assess housing and economic challenges that inform tailored training curricula and workforce development systems.
