Federal Agencies to Coordinate Weatherization Efforts

From: HUD USER News
 
The U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) and of Energy (DOE) are coordinating the use of
appropriations from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act to provide weatherization assistance
in HUD-qualified assisted housing. The funds include
$4.5 billion in HUD capital funds for public and
Indian housing and $250 million to retrofit privately
owned, federally assisted housing. In addition, DOE
has issued a notice of the proposed rules for
eliminating duplicative income verification
requirements that would make it easier for affordable
housing providers to access $5 billion in DOE
Weatherization Assistance program funding. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2009
 (www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2009-05-21/html/E9-11890.htm)
and is available for comment at www.regulations.gov
until June 22, 2009. Comments should reference the
regulatory information number (RIN) 1904-AB-97.
Comments with this RIN in the subject area may also
be submitted to WXHUDOPR@ee.doe.gov.
