Energy Branch Resources

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public Housing Energy Branch has issued a reminder for agencies considering energy efficiency to visit their Energy Branch webpage. Per HUD: “The Energy Branch Website is a resource for PHAs for investment in energy and water efficiency infrastructure through the Public Housing Operating Fund, technical assistance for utility management, Renewable Energy implementation, and Federal and Non-Federal Funding resources.  It includes facility system information, videos, policy and guidance, and other resources to support effective energy management in PHAs.”
