Affordable Housing Services
Group14 has worked on over 200 affordable housing projects across the county.
We offer comprehensive affordable housing services services to affordable housing providers around sustainability and decarbonization. We are a one-stop shop for Housing Tax Credit (HTC) supported projects navigating jurisdictional energy codes, Housing Finance Authority QAP requirements, and energy related funding opportunities.
We are longtime partners of many affordable housing developers in Colorado, having worked on projects awarded 4% and 9% housing tax credits by the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA).
HUD Energy Performance Contracts
We are national leaders in self-managed HUD Energy Performance Contracts, having secured more financing than any other project development firm. We have assisted with the development of over $60 million in HUD EPCs. Our team has worked with the HUD Energy Office to secure approval for public housing energy performance contracts across the county. Our EPC clients include Denver Housing Authority, York Housing Authority, Topeka Housing Authority, Albuquerque Housing Authority, the Wilmington Housing Authority, Trenton Housing Authority, Brockton Housing Authority, and San Antonio Housing Authority.
