The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $20,000,000 Project Grant under the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (CFDA 14.021) to Autumn Woods LIMITED Partnership in Auburn, MA. The grant funds will be used to finance rehabilitation projects that improve energy and water efficiency, enhance indoor air quality and sustainability, implement zero-emission electricity generation, and increase climate resilience of the HUD-assisted multifamily properties owned by the recipient. Specific planned improvements include installing rooftop solar systems, converting to electric heat pumps, and upgrading windows and doors to be more wind- and impact-resistant. The goal of the program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and energy consumption by at least 25% across the targeted properties, while also providing healthier and safer living environments for low-income residents, seniors, and persons with disabilities. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028.
