With generous support from Wells Fargo Foundation, NHT is pleased to launch its 2023 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Bootcamp series. The Bootcamp will build the capacity of state agencies, developers and housing owners to leverage IRA funding to preserve and improve affordable housing. Participation is free for qualified applicants, per the conditions outlined below.
PROGRAM APPROACH:
Passed in August 2022, the IRA makes available upwards of $25 billion that can be used to invest in support investments in the energy efficiency and climate resiliency of housing occupied by low-income households.
The IRA Bootcamp will provide free customized support and peer learning opportunities on two tracks, one for Housing Financial Agencies (HFAs) and one for multifamily affordable housing providers.
