Habitat for Humanity of Kent County has made a 100% commitment to LEED for Homes and is the leading single family green home builder in the midwest. In 2011 the USGBC recognized Habitat Kent with the Outstanding Program Commitment award.

LEED for Homes is a voluntary rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes, including affordable housing, mass-production homes, custom designs, stand-alone single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses, suburban and urban apartments and condominiums and lofts in historic buildings.
