The Durham Greener Homes Program is a first-of-its-kind home-energy upgrade program utilizing third-party lending as an alternative to traditional Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) models. This type of programing offers unsecured loans to homeowners at preferential rates and can be implemented in regions where PACE may not be currently allowed due to legislation. The program is part of the Region’s Community Energy Plan and is funded by a $3.4 million investment from GMF’s Community Efficiency Financing (CEF) initiative.
