Public and Section 8 HUD Housing in Jeopardy
Exit this survey

1. Default Section

APGA wants to learn of instances of HUD dollars being used to replace natural gas appliances with electric appliances in public or private HUD supported housing in your respective location. We ask you to be specific on location, dates, the kind and number of appliances replaced and whether you had notice and opportunity to comment on the appliance switch-out.

To our knowledge, this has happened in Pensacola, Florida, Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia and Brunswick, Georgia. APGA is confident that this has happened in other places without notice and despite strong arguments on efficiency gains and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to natural gas.

APGA needs to arm itself with as many examples of such federally supported appliance switch-outs as possible. APGA will use those examples to raise the issue to regulators and legislators, many of which, are voicing support for climate change legislation to reduce GHG emissions and carbon footprints. Let’s show them that natural gas is part of the solution to greater efficiency and a greener environment.
