Even as rent growth moderates and vacancies tick up, a growing share of renters are cost-burdened. This widening affordability gap leaves less room in household budgets for essential utilities like electricity, effectively increasing the share of income spent on energy. As a result, energy burden is rising not because utility rates alone are spiking, but because housing costs have already consumed a disproportionate share of income.

Not even a month, ago Brent Crude was trading in the $60/barrel range while now it is above $100. While most people immediately think about gasoline prices when oil rises, the effects often extend further particularly into electricity and natural gas markets that ultimately influence residential utility costs across the United States.

Hedgerow’s Energy Consumption Modeling (ECM) based utility allowance analyses generated potentially an estimated $3,921,112 in additional net revenue across their Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) portfolio for CY 2025. This analysis assumes properties were near maximum allowable rents and able to realize rent increases enabled by ECM-derived allowances in lieu of Public Housing Authority (PHA) schedules. The results demonstrate a material, repeatable financial benefit that compounds as this company continues to acquire new assets.

With more individuals and families relocating to Delaware for its lower tax burden, no sales tax, low property taxes, and proximity to major East Coast job markets, demand for high quality, affordable housing continues to rise across all counties.

The recent Tax Credit Tuesday discussion between Michael Novogradac and Thomas Stagg, CPAs at Novogradac & Company, highlighted this often-overlooked dynamic, showing how changes in utility costs can erode net rental income even when rent floors appear to provide stability.
