Scott Announces $20 million HUD Green and Resilient Retrofit Program Grant for Langley Square II Apartments in Hampton

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) announced that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded $20 million to Langley Square II Apartments in Hampton, Virginia under the Department’s Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP). This grant was funded under the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed by Congressional Democrats and signed into law by President Biden in August 2022. GRRP supports significant energy efficiency and climate resilience renovations in more than 2,200 homes across the nation at properties housing low-income individuals, families, and seniors.

“I am excited that the Department of Housing and Urban Development is making this significant investment in more energy efficient and resilient housing in Hampton,”said Congressman Scott. “These funds will help ensure residents at Langley Square have access to more efficient heating and cooling, and help reduce our region’s carbon footprint as we combat the climate crisis.”

According to HUD, the grants and loans announced today are the third set of awards made under the GRRP’s Comprehensive category, which provides funding to properties with the highest need for climate resilience and utility efficiency upgrades. Earlier this year, Stuart Gardens Apartments in Newport News received $10 million through GRRP.
