HUD Public Housing Program• In existence since the mid‐1930s• Low cost loans subsidized original construction• 1.1 million residential units in more than 3000 communities• Property is owned by Public Housing Authorities (PHAs)• Eligibility threshold is less than 30% of AMI• Serves the neediest in our country‐the safety net• 60% are elderly or disabled• Program serves approximately one quarter of eligible families
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
Public Housing Assistance Model • Inattention to the cost of ongoing maintenance • First major crisis in mid 1960s• Capital Fund and Operating Fund grants subsidize rents • Replacement Reserves are prohibited• Rents are capped at 30% of tenant household income• 2010 Condition Needs Assessment‐$26B backlog, $6B annual• Capital Fund reduced by 23% 2011 through 2015• Inventory loss of 10,000 units annually
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
Utility Funding and Energy Conservation Model
• Utilities are reimbursed to PHAs through the Operating Fund• 3 year Rolling Base payment based upon utility cost• Very short term payback for energy conservation• Energy Audits required every 5 years though there are no quality standards
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
RESULT
• Lack of incentive in the Public Housing Program for long term capital planning or for energy conservation
• Performance and success among PHAs bridges a huge spectrum depending largely upon the motivation, structure of the PHA, local commitment to public housing
• Even in this environment, net zero or near net zero projects have been completed and high‐quality low rent housing in good repair is available.
• Leverage
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
Incremental Evolution to Market Processes
• Asset Management Program• 2005 Energy Policy Act‐integrate capital and utility planning• Capital Fund Financing Program $4.5 Billion since 2000• Energy Performance Contracting $2 Billion + since 2000• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)‐$6 Billion • Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) converting 185,000 units to Section 8 housing. $1 Billion invested for first 10% of conversions
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
Progress
• Physical Needs Assessment Standards proposed• Energy Audit Standards proposed (ASHRAE II)• GPNA tool and protocol developed and made available for voluntary use
• Congressional authority for replacement reserves has been requested
• Congressional authority for broader energy conservation incentives have been requested
‹#›MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015: BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO
Change in Public Housing
• Changing the culture of Public Housing from a charitable model to a business model
• Risk Assessment• Tools and incentives to leverage federal funds and to access opportunities
• Access the traditional real estate market resources • Project based long term strategic planning• Position PHAs to survive to continue to provide the safety net

What is the GPNA?
GPNA = Green Physical Needs Assessment
The GPNA forms the basis for the PHA’s strategic planning and the establishment of goals and objectives contained in its PHA Plan. It provides the PHA with an estimates that quantifies the capital requirements for the entire portfolio of the PHA, which can and often will be in excess of current funding from HUD. Using these estimates, PHAs can prioritize their needs and look to leverage their capital funds with other funding, to better preserve their housing stock to meet the mission and goals of the PHA Plan.

PHYSICAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Visually assess all major building systems:• What needs to be fixed/replaced now?• What will need to be replaced over the next 20 years?• How much will it cost and when?• Is it a high priority?

HUD Energy Audit Rule◊ The EA Rule requires evaluation of
Core ECM’s– Building Envelope
– Heating, Cooling and Mechanical Equipment
– HVAC Controls
– Plumbing Systems
– Power and Lighting Systems
– Appliances

◊ Evaluation of Advanced ECM’s (Optional)– Fuel conversions (e.g., electric or propane to gas)
– Energy generating technologies (e.g., solar, geothermal)
– Conservation technologies (e.g., building energy management systems, xeriscaping)
