On February 22, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced $73.5 million in new loans and grants under the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) to HUD-assisted multifamily communities to support extensive energy efficiency and climate resilience renovations. One of the 10 awards, and the only award of this round to a Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly community, is owned by National Church Residences. HUD has announced $368 million in GRRP awards thus far.
LeadingAge Ohio congratulates National Church Residences and encourages all HUD-assisted providers to understand the tremendous opportunities presented by the GRRP program, including grants, loans, and its free energy benchmarking. GRRP applications are due through July of 2024, depending on the type of GRRP award. Read HUD’s press release here.
