Join SCANPH in partnership with BUILD for our Fall 2026 Asset and Property Management Webinar on Adaptive Reuse in Affordable Housing: Navigating Electrification, Design, and Funding Challenges. Adaptive reuse affordable housing developments, including many Homekey projects, are often categorized as building rehabilitation but can require renovations extensive enough to resemble new construction. This creates unique design, construction, and funding challenges for developers navigating the transition from non-residential to residential building systems. From electrification and fuel switching to upgrading outdated air, water, and energy infrastructure, these projects demand innovative technical and financing solutions.
Drawing on lessons learned from developments participating in the Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Design (BUILD) program, this workshop will explore how no-cost technical assistance can help development teams overcome design and funding barriers. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning adaptive reuse developments with modern building standards while layering financial incentives from energy-efficiency programs.
