HUD Multifamily PFS pilot
Save taxpayer money by installing energy and water conservation retrofits in up to 20,000 units of HUD-assisted multifamily affordable housing.
2.
Develop a Pay For Success model for funding and delivering energy and water conservation improvements within HUD?s assisted multifamily
3.
Evaluate the effectiveness of energy and water conservation retrofits overseen by Intermediaries, especially at keeping utility consumption at lower levels in the years following the installation of these measures.
4.
Identify lessons learned and best practices in order to assess the feasibility of scaling up and replicating this approach to achieving energy and water conservation given the characteristics of HUD-assisted multifamily housing, HUD?s statutory and regulatory framework, and the resources available to both HUD and property owners to address this problem.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's mission is to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. HUD fulfills this mission through high ethical standards, management and accountability, and by forming partnerships with community organizations.
