Overview
Through this Request for Applications (RFA), the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) invites applications from eligible private and non-profit development teams to apply PCEF Funds to capital costs for renewable energy and energy efficiency upgrades in regulated, affordable rental housing developments. The purpose of this RFA is to ensure that these buildings are built and operated in a way that reduces carbon emissions, reduces operating costs, and improves resilience and health of tenants. To be eligible for these PCEF Funds, projects must have either a current loan or grant award from PHB that does not include PCEF or have received financial eligibility approval from Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS).
For more information, please download the complete RFA, appendices, and forms.
