Donate to ICA GreenRise Capital Campaign
ICA GreenRise is a beacon of sustainability and an energy efficiency educational center for neighborhood leaders who are being supported by ICA staff to establish sustainable programs in their own communities.
In order to continue as a community hub and demonstration site, ICA will be tackling a huge Historic Renovation Plan that lists $20 million in projected improvements.
Like many of the social service centers in the US, the ICA GreenRise has deferred maintenance. As service tenants care for those in society who have little, the surroundings and its decay add to the negative stereotyping of these agencies and their clientele.
If restored, the building becomes more viable and inviting, and will serve as a beacon for the development of similar strategies and funding for other older buildings that now are committed to the underserved, but need revitalization to continue. The methods of refurbishing and funding, while still delivering services, provide models for older centers needing the same treatment.
ICA intends to restore the facility to its original condition where possible and also to complete a renovation of the infrastructure.
