approached Therapeutic Recreation about hosting
the 2018 National Women’s Wheelchair Basketball.

“Working with the City of Carson
Therapeutic Recreation has showed
us what community means with all
the support they have given us.”
- Molly Bloom

The West Coast had not hosted a tournament in some
time and they felt that California would appeal to the
participating teams. Molly felt “honored to be able to
bring the tournament home.” When asked about why she
chose Carson she said that the “City of Carson has these
beautiful facilities we were able to use and this will be
the best location that we’ve had a women’s tournament.”

SOMETHING NEW FROM HUD
NEW MULTIFAMILY ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY RESOURCE LIBRARY
There are plenty of energy and water efficiency resources available to multifamily property
owners, but locating the right one can be a challenge. The Better Buildings Challenge
Multifamily team has responded by creating a new Multifamily Energy and Water Efficiency
Resources page on the HUD Exchange. The resources are categorized by topic and cover
everything from Retrofit Planning to Resident Engagement.

Don’t know where to start?
The Utility Benchmarking resources are designed to help multifamily property owners catalogue
their building portfolios and analyze energy and water performance over time.

Wondering what to do with all that utility data? Check out the Retrofit Planning resources,
which use energy and water consumption data to suggest targeted upgrades for the most inefficient
properties.

In the dark about how to pay for building upgrades? Browse resources on Retrofit Finance,
including an interactive ‘Financing Navigator,’ database of state-level energy efficiency incentives,
and a financial decision tree.
