With the announcement of an award of $10.4 million in affordable housing tax credits, the funding for the housing at Siler Yard is nearly complete with $18.5 million in total funding committed. We are seeking to raise the last $200,000 to become New Mexico’s s first net-zero energy multi-family affordable housing project.
Siler Yard will feature a 238kW rooftop solar array consisting of 543 solar panels. Because of the Siler Yards efficient building envelope and advanced all-electric HVAC equipment, this array will generate enough power to offset consumption from the project. Over the 25 year service life of the array, this should:
-reduce carbon emissions by 11,880,000 lbs.
-keep 4,950,000 lbs. of coal in the ground
-save 4,750,000 gallons of water from steam turbine
-equivalent of planting 1473 acres or removing 1036 cars from roads
-eliminate utility bills for future residents
Donations to Siler Yard are eligible for NM State Affordable Housing Tax Credits, which provide $.50/dollar ta credit for charitable contributions that can be applied to state tax liability, including GRT. More info below.
