Our mission has brought solar photovoltaic technology to homeowners in need across the city. In November, the 200th Long Beach homeowner to join our movement signed a contract for her system.<\/p>\n<p>Staff members like Outreach and Strategic Partnerships Manager Stella Ursua not only continue GRID&#8217;s mission, but also live in Long Beach and have enriched our organizational connections within the community immeasurably. &#8220;GRID&#8217;s inclusive, result-oriented approach to renewable energy matters in a changing, diverse community like Long Beach,&#8221; Stella says. &#8220;Over the last ten years, we&#8217;ve brought families significant savings on their utility bills and an incredibly easy way to participate in a grass-roots transition to alternative sources of power. The amount of money this frees up for low-income families adds up to millions of dollars, and we&#8217;re proud to be making Long Beach a stronger community in so many ways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rexrichardsonlb\/videos\/1504075042983772\" target=\"_blank\">the furthest-north reaches of North Long Beach<\/a> to the heart of the city&#8217;s downtown, the GLA team&#8217;s solar panels are popping up everywhere.
