Project Grant GRRPC0058

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $19,200,000 Project Grant to the Lake Metropolitan Housing Authority under the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (CFDA 14.021). The grant will fund rehabilitation projects at HUD-assisted multifamily properties in Painesville, Ohio to improve energy and water efficiency, enhance indoor air quality, and increase climate resilience. Eligible activities include installing rooftop solar systems, converting to electric heat pumps, upgrading windows and doors, and implementing other sustainable building measures. The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and energy consumption by at least 25% across the properties. The award was made on September 25, 2024 and is expected to be completed by September 30, 2028. The program does not involve sub-recipients, as the Lake Metropolitan Housing Authority will directly oversee and implement the grant-funded improvements.
