As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing received $1 billion in funding for a new Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP). When implemented, the GRRP may include multiple rounds of funding availability to support energy and water efficiency retrofits and climate resilience of HUD-assisted multifamily properties.

Through a Request for Information (RFI) posted for public inspection in the Federal Register today, HUD is seeking input on several components of the design and implementation of the program, as well as on the best methods for utility benchmarking. Information provided in response to this RFI will inform HUD’s development and implementation of this program.

Comments are requested on or before October 27, 2022, using the instructions in the RFI. Read the RFI here and the press release here. Docket No. FR-6350-N-01.
