Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRPE) Elements MODIFICATION FY24

GRRP Elements NOFO Update, August 2023: 1. Expansion of eligibility for recent Section 202/811 Capital Advance awardees 2. Clarification on cost sharing 3. Addition to instructions for submitting the application materials, specifically asking for application attachments to include the iREMS reference number in the file name. 4. Clarification of the documentation required to support Better Buildings Challenge ranking status 5. Shortened the grace period for uploading environmental review documents into HEROS 6. Addition of IEER specification for heat pumps in the menu of acceptable Elements investments 7. Clarification of ASTM standards 8. Additional specifications for Administrative, National and Departmental Policy Requirements and Terms for HUD Applicants and Recipients of Financial Assistance Awards - The Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) is authorized and funded by Section 30002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, (Public Law 117-169) (the "IRA"), titled "Improving Energy Efficiency or Water Efficiency or Climate Resilience of Affordable Housing." The program seeks to amplify recent technological advancements in utility efficiency and energy generation, bring a new focus on preparing for climate hazards by reducing residents' and properties' exposure to hazards, and protecting life, livability, and property when disaster strikes. GRRP is the first HUD program to simultaneously invest in energy efficiency, energy generation, and climate resilience strategies specifically in HUD-assisted multifamily housing. All of the investments under the GRRP will be made in affordable housing communities serving low-income families in alignment with the Administration's Justice 40 goals.HUD is offering GRRP funding through three separate cohorts designed to meet the different needs of HUD's assisted multifamily portfolio. Round One of the GRRP consists of three cohorts of awards, implemented through three parallel Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs):The Elements NOFO provides modest awards designed to add proven and highly impactful climate resilience and carbon reduction measures to the construction scopes of in-progress recapitalization transactions.The Leading Edge NOFO provides funding to Owners aiming to quickly meet ambitious carbon reduction and resilience goals without requiring extensive collaboration with HUD.The Comprehensive NOFO provides funding to initiate recapitalization investments designed from inception around deep retrofits, focused on innovative energy efficiency and greening measures, renewable energy generation, use of structural building materials with lower embodied carbon, and climate resilience investments. Comprehensive Awards are designed for the widest range of properties, including those that have not yet developed a recapitalization plan.To the greatest extent feasible, these approaches will:Substantially improve energy and water efficiency, including moving properties toward net zero, zero energy ready, or zero over time energy performance; /Address climate resilience, including synergies that can be achieved between efficiency and resilience investments;Enhance indoor air quality and resident health;Implement the use of zero-emission electricity generation and energy storage;Minimize embodied carbon and incorporate low-emission building materials or processes; andSupport building electrification.

8.1 update: INSTRUCTIONS Zip This update clarifies the section in the Sources & Uses about acquisition proceeds. Applicants may continue to use old versions of the form if they do not wish to switch to the new version. If using a version of the application form prior to 7/28/2023: If acquisition costs payable to an affiliated entity will not result in any cash Proceeds, for example as a seller note, enter these acquisition costs in the line for Acquisition Price to Non-Affiliates. This will not trigger a decreased developer fee. Please see the definition of Proceeds in the Notice. If using a version of the application form from 7/28/2023 or later: Acquisition costs are now separated into "Total Acquisition Price" and a sub-line for the portion of those proceeds that were paid to affiliates. If the affiliated seller will not result in any cash Proceeds, for example as a seller note, the Proceeds do not need to be entered in the "Acquisition Proceeds paid to Affiliates" line. - The Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) is authorized and funded by Section 30002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, (Public Law 117-169) (the "IRA"), titled "Improving Energy Efficiency or Water Efficiency or Climate Resilience of Affordable Housing."
