This morning, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Regional Director Jane C. W. Vincent hosted a news conference to announce Green Refinance Plus, a program between HUD and Fannie Mae to fund energy and water saving upgrades at existing rental housing properties.
The press conference was held at GEDCO’s Gallagher Mansion to demonstrate the benefits of greening at existing affordable rental housing properties. Gallagher Mansion houses 40, low-income seniors. Many of them told us today that reducing energy costs with more energy efficient products and systems was a very high priority for them.
The Michael Group was proud to have been the General Contractor on this important, resident-in-place green retrofit. “The Michael Group is committed to green building practices and products in all of our affordable housing work” said Jeff Hill, Vice President of Construction for the Michael Group.
