CHFA outlines scoring: sustainability tiers, supportive‑housing points and documentation requirements
Summary
CHFA technical staff explained the QAP point structure for new construction and preservation, including sustainability tiers, green‑building points, and the documents required to claim points for energy conservation, renewables and supportive‑housing commitments.
CHFA's technical services team walked applicants through the points available for financial efficiency, sustainability, local impacts and green building, and explained the documentation needed to claim those points.
A presenter summarized the sustainability tiers and point ranges: "For sustainability design measures under energy conservation, a total of 4 points with tier 1 with 2 points, tier 2 with 3 points, and tier 3 with 4 points," reflecting the QAP's structure for awarding points for higher levels of energy performance. Points for green building, renewables/electrification and operational resiliency were also outlined with required third‑party reports and professional engineer verification.
Staff emphasized that awarding points is contingent on documentary proof: applicants seeking energy conservation or green‑building points must submit the ConApp entries, professional engineering reports, modeling, and evidence of project registration with programs such as Passive House or LEED, and provide certificates at cost certification. Alter and technical staff also stressed that applicants should include environmental remediation and extraordinary cost calculations when requesting hard‑cost effectiveness points.
The takeaway: applicants should assemble engineering letters, registration evidence, detailed cost breakouts and plans/specs that match narrative claims in order to secure sustainability and supportive‑housing points.
