A housing project that tackles homelessness, poverty, and climate change all in one.


That’s the goal of Hillcrest Village in Northfield, Minnesota. It’s an emergency shelter and supportive housing development – powered entirely by the sun.


Scott Wopata is Executive Director at Community Action Center, which was behind the project.
