HPwES Financing Webinar | November 18, 2013

This Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES) financing webinar was originally broadcast on November 18, 2013. The session was held to provide an overview of the On-Bill Recovery (OBR) loan, the Smart Energy loan, and the Assisted HPwES Subsidy. Speakers on the webinar included Kate Howard from the constituency-based organization (CBO) People United for Sustainable Housing (PUSH); additionally, Dan Streit from Energy Finance Solutions (EFS) led a segment of the presentation as well.

Ms. Howard’s presentation focused on best practices the Buffalo-based CBO learned while working with clients within the HPwES Program; specifically, recommendations and lessons learned from providing assistance to homeowners interested in applying for the Assisted HPwES Subsidy, the Smart Energy Loan, and the OBR loan. Mr. Streit’s presentation offered insights into the process for loan/financing approvals as well as the Assisted HPwES Subsidy.
