The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has updated HUD Form 9250 (Reserve Fund for Replacement Authorizations) with new language that requires owners/agents of HUD projects to indicate whether the requested withdrawal of replacement reserve funds will be used to replace appliances and/or major components with energy efficient products/systems. The revised form requires: “A list of appliances and/or major components that will be replaced along with a notation of whether or not the replacement items will be energy efficient products. If replacement items are not energy efficient products, the owner/agent must provide a justification.”
NH&RA’s Council for Energy Friendly Affordable Housing (CEFAH) is working with HUD and Congress to encourage legislative and regulatory reform aimed at making it easier for multifamily owners and managers to retrofit their properties to improve energy and water performance. CEFAH will be holding its Annual Meeting on March 12, in conjunction with the NH&RA Annual Meeting in Key Largo, FL. Click here to learn more about CEFAH. read more…
