Multifamily Retrofit Financing Assistance Pilot
Offering no-cost support for multifamily building owners
Multifamily Building Owners and Managers!
Looking to upgrade your properties, but need financing for the upfront investment?
USGBC California has launched a pilot program for multifamily buildings in Los Angeles County that will provide no-cost support for building owners seeking to finance electrification, efficiency, and clean energy upgrades.
Our goal is to help you access incentives, control energy bills, improve resident health, and future-proof your buildings to stay ahead of climate policy.
With funding from the state’s TECH Clean California Quick Start Grant program, USGBC-CA will help selected properties plan projects that provide long-term value and are eligible for up to 100% financing and 30-80%+ cost coverage from incentives and rebates.
USGBC-CA will help selected properties source & evaluate financing options, and leverage additional no-cost services to develop and execute a fully-funded scope of work.
Pilot Candidates:
Multifamily buildings with 5 or more units located in Los Angeles County in low-income and/or disadvantaged communities (LIDACs)
Interested in efficiency and electrification, but upfront investment is a barrier
Asset is cashflow positive, or part of a portfolio that is cashflow positive overall
Selected projects will be finance-ready by the end of the year!
