Project Grant GRRPE0068

This $750,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (CFDA 14.021) will fund energy efficiency, renewable energy, and climate resilience improvements to a HUD-assisted multifamily housing property owned by 1990 ACP JR Blvd LLC in Portland, ME. The grant will finance measures such as installing rooftop solar, converting to electric heat pumps, and upgrading windows and doors to enhance the property's energy performance, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and prepare the building to withstand extreme weather events. The project aims to achieve at least a 25% reduction in energy consumption and a 50% decrease in overall emissions across the affordable housing units, which serve low-income residents, seniors, and persons with disabilities. This award is part of HUD's broader $2 billion GRRP initiative to comprehensively retrofit HUD-assisted multifamily properties nationwide to improve sustainability, climate resilience, and quality of life for residents.
