The Catalyst loan funds energy improvement projects for low- and moderate-income properties (where at least 60% of units serve renters at 80% or lower of Area Median Income) and is geared towards mid-cycle energy improvements. The Catalyst Loan provides unsecured loans that cover 100% of project costs, require no money down, and are repaid from energy cost savings for terms up to 20 years. Projected energy savings are used to cover the debt service of the loan. Other building upgrades may also be financed including health and safety remediation, resiliency and capital improvements. Inclusive Prosperity Capital is the spin-out of the Connecticut Green Bank, bringing its successful programs to new markets.
