DENVER
Vice President Joe Biden and two Cabinet secretaries unveiled a national program Tuesday to train workers for “green jobs” that will make public housing more energy-efficient.
Biden, Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan, and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announced the plan in Denver at a meeting of President Barack Obama’s task force on the middle class.
Donovan said some of the $4 billion from Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus plan that was budgeted to renovate public housing will be spent to create jobs for making the dwellings more energy efficient.
