Multifamily Energy Loans

C4C’s LIME (Low Income Multifamily Energy) Loans program also works closely with property owners to make energy efficiency improvements to multifamily properties or condominium developments that meet the following requirements:

• No fewer than 5 units; and
• At least 60% of units affordable to households at no higher than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
• Consideration will be given to “high impact” properties, such as:
  • HUD financed properties, including housing authorities;
  • CHFA financed and FHA-insured developments;
  • Properties in low- or moderate-income geographies; or
  • Complexes that are Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs)
