The guidance includes unchanged policies administered by HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing and Office of Multifamliy Housing Programs, as well as expansions including guidance for Public Housing Authorities in using solar credits for buildings with master metered utility accounts and stating that guidance applies to HUD Multifamily Assisted Housing program properties with rooftop/on-site solar facilities.
