HUD Announces Improvements To Climate-Forward Housing Program
The program directly supports HUD’s Climate Action Plan which sets forth goals to create climate resiliency, reduce greenhouse emissions, and pursue environmental justice in housing. The Rate Reduction Incentive (RRI) helps HUD move towards those goals since energy efficiency solutions made possible through the program reduce a Public Housing Agencies (PHA) carbon footprint, promote long-term sustainability, and can improve the lives of residents.
