Public housing units across the country need more than $26 billion in repairs. HUD refers to these repair costs as capital needs. Congress has not provided enough funding for PHAs to keep up with capital needs. As a result, PHAs have had to make tough choices between things like repairing roofs and replacing plumbing—or worse, demolishing public housing. RAD provides PHAs a way to rehabilitate, or repair, units without depending on additional money from Congress.

This allows us to use the tax credits to leverage private funding, as well as other sources of private investments, to perform $17.6 million in needed repairs during Phase 1 of RAD. Just as importantly, this approval helps to ensure ongoing funding for public housing property maintenance and repair.

Unique features include a new state of the art geothermal heating a cooling system which will provide a more energy efficient method of heating and cooling for our residents.  This system will reduce the overall operating expenses for the project and improve the quality of our living spaces for our residents.

This project was financed by the sale of low-income tax credits, energy tax credits, a HUD insured 221(d)(4) mortgage, IHCDA Development Funds, deferred development fee, and seller financing,  Operations is funded by Project Base Housing Choice Vouchers and tenant paid rents.
