FHA AND FANNIE MAE GREEN REFINANCE PLUS PROGRAM

In May 2011, the Green Refinance Plus Program was started as a funding source for energy retrofits in affordable housing properties. Properties that are 10 or more years old may refinance their loans, with 5% or more going toward energy retrofits. Applicants must go through a Green Property Needs Assessment to participate, but once the assessment is performed they can refinance their loans while improving the environmental quality of their buildings, and not to mention save money.
