Advance sustainable communities by strengthening climate resilience and
energy efficiency, promoting environmental justice, and recognizing
housing’s role as essential to health
The following investments will help HUD
achieve this goal:
Public Housing Fund: $300 million for the installation of measures to
increase energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, and promote
climate resilience in public housing. In addition, the Budget includes
$85 million to evaluate and reduce residential health hazards in
public housing, including lead-based paint, and an increase of $25
million for public housing capital funds (under the Public Housing
Fund), which will be critical to improving the quality of public
housing.
Native American Programs: $150 million awarded to eligible Indian
Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) that
rehabilitate and construct new housing units with the focus on
increasing energy efficiency, improving water conservation, and
furthering climate resilience in housing developments within Indian
Country.
Choice Neighborhoods: $185 million to help communities develop and
implement locally-driven, comprehensive neighborhood plans to
transform underserved neighborhoods. The program advances climate
resilience and environmental justice by redeveloping and replacing
distressed public and multifamily housing and neighborhood amenities
with resilient and energy-efficient structures.
Community Development Loan Guarantee (Section 108): $400 million of
loan guarantees, a $100 million increase from 2023, so communities can
leverage their Community Development Block Grant to tackle large-scale
community and economic development projects. This proposal is in
response to the increase in demand for this low-cost, flexible
financing for physical and economic revitalization projects.
Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes: $410 million to mitigate lead
hazards in low-income, unassisted households, as well as identify and
mitigate multiple health hazards.
