GREEN COST SHARE (HOUSING) – MFBE AND 4D PROGRAM

Overview: 4d tax incentive program to keep Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) affordable 10 years. City adds to utilities’ MFBE program incentives to offer properties a combined 90% of EE project cost. The 4d EE program started in October in partnership with CEE Results: 5 Multifamily projects were funded - 2 properties were standard cost share and 3 properties (37 units total) were 4d

• First 4d property report had 24% building energy savings (FF covered 20% of

project cost)

Lessons learned: Outreach takes time; a full 4d program in 2019 will have greater participation (estimate: 4-10 times as many properties). EE program participation would benefit from greater multifamily building outreach Related CIP programs: Residential EE programs, Federal weatherization funds
