The Connecticut Housing Finance Agency presented its draft 2012 Standards of Design and Construction at a Public Forum on November 22. The standards include guidelines for the project planning and technical review process, safety and sustainability guidelines, and are applicable for construction funding through 2012 CHFA Multifamily Underwriting and Asset Management financing programs. Notable changes include the addition of Appendix G: CHFA Capital Improvement Project Classifications for Repairs/Replacements/Installations, and Appendix H: Energy Efficiency Effectiveness. Those interested in providing feedback on the proposed 2012 Standards may forward comments, questions and concerns to Charles Emerson, Architectural Design and Construction Reviewer, via email at charles.emerson@chfa.org by December 15, 2011.
