Expiration Date: XX/XX/XXXX
Outreach Materials
Dear Owner,
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is conducting a multi-phase evaluation of the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP). GRRP provides funding for direct loans and grants to fund projects at eligible HUD-assisted multifamily properties that improve energy or water efficiency; enhance indoor air quality or sustainability; implement the use of zero-emission electricity generation, low-emission building materials or processes, energy storage, or building electrification strategies; or address climate resilience.
This letter requests that you complete a survey on the GRRP application process.
This survey will help HUD assess the success of the GRRP application process based on owners’ perceptions of the design of the application and the program. Completing this survey will help HUD answer the following research questions: Do property owners want the resources (loans and grants) that are offered through GRRP? Are the funds addressing the right needs? How can HUD balance reaching owners with properties most in need of upgrading, who may not have the capacity to leverage the funds offered through GRRP, with achieving the energy, carbon, and resilience goals of the program?
You were randomly selected to complete this survey. [Awardees] As a GRRP awardee, you are required to participate in the evaluation of the GRRP program. A survey seeking your input on how you experienced the application and award process follows. Your experiences applying for GRRP program resources and deciding what to seek funding for are important to HUD and may help to improve future programs of this nature. // [Rejected applicants] While one or more of your applications to GRRP was not awarded, HUD requests that you complete this survey to provide information on your experience with the application process. A survey seeking your input on how you experienced the application process follows. Your experiences applying for GRRP program resources and deciding what to seek funding for are important to HUD and may help to improve future programs of this nature. // [Non-applicants] While you have not applied to GRRP, HUD requests that you complete this survey to provide information on why you chose not to apply to this funding opportunity. This information will be helpful in designing future programs to meet rehabilitation needs and energy efficiency and resiliency goals for multifamily properties.
Your answers to the survey questions will only be seen by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) and any contractor hired by PD&R to conduct an evaluation of GRRP. Your answers will be used for research purposes only, and not for compliance or enforcement of any program requirements. Any publication or dissemination of research results will aggregate survey responses. Any open-response answers that will be reported will be anonymized, and any identifying information will be removed to the best of our ability.
We expect the survey to take 45 minutes to complete.
A survey link will be sent to you so you may access and respond to the questions. Please forward the link to the person from your organization who is the point of contact for your GRRP application, if it is not you. If your organization did not submit a GRRP application, please forward the survey link to the person from your organization who would be responsible for applying for rehabilitation funding. If this person would have difficulty accessing the survey and/or participating because of a disability, language barrier, or other reason, they should contact HUD [INSERT CONTACT INFORMATION], and HUD will provide a reasonable accommodation, translation services, or other accommodation as necessary.
You will receive reminders to complete this survey as the deadline approaches.
