2
The HUD Consolidated Plan
  • Identifies affordable housing needs.
  • Discusses housing market.
  • Identifies barriers to affordable housing.
  • Identifies and ranks action steps.

3
Starting Point Home Energy Burdens
  • Shelter burdens affordable at 30 of income.
  • Utility costs affordable at 6 of income (20 of
    shelter costs).

4
Home Energy Affordability Gap
  • County-by-county calculation of home energy
    burdens by Federal Poverty Level.
  • To the extent that burdens are above 6, they do
    not result in sustainable housing costs.

Impact on affordable housing development
  • Tenants can pay less rent OR
  • Developer pays more of the energy costs.
  • Either way, development
  • supports less debt financing.

Recommended Action 1
  • Homeownership and rental units developed as
    either new construction or substantial
    rehabilitation by grantees or participating
    jurisdictions should be developed to Energy Star
    standards.

14
HUD Recommendation
  • Include following in any Request for Proposals
    or procurement process
  • All new buildings and gut rehab shall be
    designed to meet the National Energy Five Star
    efficiency performance standard of 86. All
    procedures used for this rating (86) shall comply
    with National Home Energy Rating System
    guidelines.

15
The Efficiency Standard
  • Each five percent increase in efficiency results
    in one point on the Energy Rating above 80. A
    home that is built to meet the 1993 Model Energy
    Code has a rating of 80. A home that is five
    percent more efficient has a rating of 81. A home
    that is 30 more efficient has a rating of 86 and
    qualifies as an Energy Star Home.

16
Quantifying the Effective Impacts of Efficiency
Investments
  • Cash flow
  • Net Present Value Svgs
  • Reduced interest rates
  • Reduced sales price
  • 160 - 270
  • 2800 - 4300
  • 0.31 - 0.45
  • 3700 - 5500

17
Things that just dont fit
  • 2.5 of HUD-insured mortgages failed because of
    high energy prices. /a/
  • Value of home increases 20 for each 1 of energy
    efficiency investment. /b/
