  4. Impacts to SRF(Proposed $557M Cut) • ~20 projects will lose eligibility for subsidized interest rate financing • 13 of these 20 are also competing for hardship (disadvantaged communities) grant and would lose this eligibility as well • New project financings (not already funded or committed with hardship financings) would be reduced from 26 to 6 • Examples: • The City of Rome at 160 points (old funding line) will lose access to $10 million in subsidized interest rate financing for Phase 1 of their $30 million covered storage reservoir project • NYC Croton project will lose access to over $30 million in subsidized financing
