Issues around income eligibility and more efficiently enrolling multifamily buildings We have urged various techniques for efficiently qualifying multifamily buildings that are primarily inhabited by low-income families as eligible for ESA, and making these buildings eligible for “whole building” treatment. Strengthening & enhancing use of a “single point of contact” (SPOC) for owners of multifamily buildings wishing to access the ESA program (also referred to as “one stop shopping”). This is an issue we have been advocating since the prior ESA docket, A.11-05-017, and which we again advocated through testimony and briefs. Our goal is to remove unnecessary administrative barriers to multifamily buildings being well-served by the ESA program. (p. 181): Describing NRDC et al. recommendation.
