NHT Updates
We are thrilled that this week, legislators introduced The Save Affordable Housing Act, a crucial piece of legislation needed to preserve irreplaceable affordable rental housing serving low-income families. Over the past two years, NHT has led the effort to build congressional understanding and support for this critical legislation.
Congratulations to NHT’s very own Annika Brink for being awarded Midwest Energy News’ 40 under 40 for 2018!
As we fly toward the fall season, EEFA will continue to promote the benefits of home weatherization and the crucial place that the U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) plays in ensuring that affordable homes are well-maintained, comfortable, and safe for families struggling to meet their basic needs on a limited income.
Robust evidence demonstrates that interventions such as weatherization and other energy-efficiency upgrades, particularly in poor quality housing, can significantly improve residents’ health by reducing thermal stress, asthma symptoms, and energy costs.
This month, a partnership between the NHT-Enterprise and Urban Ingenuity (UI), known as NHT Ingenuity Power (NHT-IP), closed financing on a $6.6 million renewable energy project for the installation of 24 solar systems on affordable housing communities across Washington D.C.
