​REFERENCE POINT 
​ ​IN 2015 PLAN
For residential new construction projects, energy efficiency performance requirements are attached to these dollars as a way of ensuring that public funding is spent efficiently and effectively. No similar performance requirement exists for preservation and rehabilitation projects (2.3, 158).
​
​ACTION TAKEN
Discussions were held with MHDC and the National Housing Trust to explore current processes, and energy efficiency recommendations were shared with MHDC.
