Through a single application and funding process, eligible properties can access funds for energy efficiency and conservation upgrades, electrification upgrades, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The umbrella program includes four funding tracks: (1) MEEHA EmPOWER — grants or 0% interest deferred-payment loans totaling $134.9 million for calendar years 2024–2026 to reduce electric or gas consumption (gas-reducing measures limited to BGE or Washington Gas Light Company (WGL) utility territories); (2) Multifamily Electrification Program / MEEHA-Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program (MEEHA-GHGRP) — grants only (up to $15,000 per unit, project cap of $1,250,000; $8.75 million total in FY24, $5 million each in FY2025 and FY2026; $20 million available through fiscal year 2030) to replace fossil fuel equipment with electric equipment in existing buildings of 35,000+ gross sq ft, funded through Maryland's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program; can be combined with federal HUD Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) funding; (3) Multifamily Solar Program — funding for solar PV system installation; and (4) Multifamily Electric Vehicle Charger Program — funding for EV charger purchase and installation. Funds are released after equipment is installed and inspected. An MBE participation goal of 29% applies to applicable DHCD-funded projects. Limited health and safety or incidental repairs tied to energy-reducing measures are also eligible.","funding":{"details":"Up to $15,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"15000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Rolling — applications accepted continuously"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing / rolling basis; Multifamily Electrification Program funded through fiscal year 2030"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/energy-home-repair/energy-efficiency-multifamily-properties","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Cindy Castro","email":"cindy.castro@maryland.gov,","phone":"301-429-7400 or 1-800-756-0119 (TTY/RELAY 711 or 1"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Owners, operators, and developers of affordable multifamily rental housing developments in Maryland seeking to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, install solar PV systems, or add EV charging infrastructure.
