Capital Projects:
The HTFC provides funding for site specific projects for acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction to create affordable rental housing. It is important to consider environmental factors when selecting a site and planning a project. Sites with potential environmental concerns may increase the cost of the project or the time it takes for environmental clearance. Addressing a potential issue early on in the planning process may avoid unnecessary costs and delays. See Capital Programs Manual, for specific environmental information.
Should you have specific environmental questions on a particular project, please contact the Environmental Analysis Unit.
