Solar Incentives Training for NYS Affordable and Multifamily Housing

Webinar Overview

Expert insight on Federal and State solar incentives for affordable and multifamily housing property owners

This seminar is designed to provide actionable guidance on securing available solar incentives and, more broadly, identifying opportunities to reduce operating expenses across a housing portfolio.

What’s Covered

  • The current state of the Federal solar tax credits, including phaseout timelines and requirements

  • Strategies to maximize available Federal solar tax credits for developers planning to include solar in their upcoming projects.

  • How to access HCR solar programs

  • Case studies illustrating how affordable housing developers have successfully leveraged state and federal incentives

  • Financing and ownership arrangements for affordable housing providers

Affordable housing providers in New York have a clear, time-sensitive opportunity to secure Federal solar incentives under the new policy landscape. Key Federal program dates to secure a 30% to 70% Federal Investment Tax Credit include February 2, when the stackable “bonus” tax credit program opens, and July 4, 2026, when the safe harbor window closes. These incentives are accessible to both non-profit and for-profit organizations.

NY State Homes & Community Renewal (HCR) offers technical assistance to help affordable multifamily developers assess solar feasibility and identify eligible incentives and funding. NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD)-funded projects are also, in many cases, required to “go solar”. Crauderueff Solar provides comprehensive owner’s representative support for affordable housing developers across New York to develop their own solar projects.
