While “green housing” is commonly acknowledged as desirable, the common concern is how to pay for it. In this workshop learn about a successful Florida model for financing green retrofits, such as solar panels, with the Solar Energy Loan Fund; a pilot program that is ready for replication throughout the state. Florida’s programs for financing affordable housing through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation include a variety of factors favoring energy efficiency and sustainability; this is a time to discuss those factors, provide input to FHFC, and examine some of the many ways to combine federal, state and innovative local funding resources to leverage resources and maximize opportunities to create affordable green housing.
