Reports: State Housing Finance Agency Roles in Reducing Household Energy Costs
State HFAs have long recognized that helping homeowners, renters, and landlords save on energy supports their mission of housing affordability.
The agencies administer federal weatherization funding for home energy upgrades in 16 states, drive higher energy performance in multifamily properties they finance in 21 states, and offer specialized funding for energy improvements to homes and apartments in 22 states.
This report from Abt Associates profiles HFA energy innovation and impact in eight states.
Building on their experience, HFAs are now active in efforts to tap new federal investment in residential energy efficiency and renewable energy authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 for the benefit of lower-income renters and homeowners.
This report, also from Abt Associates, examines potential new HFA roles in response to those laws, based on an assessment of the newly authorized programs and interviews with HFA staff and other experts.
Funding for both reports was provided by the Wells Fargo Foundation.
