Current through May 31, 2024
The Corporation will, in its discretion, make a home energy
				  loan subsidy grant to subsidize a portion of the interest on a loan from a
				  participating lender to an eligible borrower for the purchase of eligible
				  energy efficiency products and to provide a buy-down of the mortgage on a new
				  dwelling unit or on a loan for the improvement of an existing dwelling unit to
				  encourage energy rating improvement. The Corporation implements the program
				  through written agreements between the Corporation and participating lenders.
				  The purpose of the home energy loan subsidy grant program is to assist people
				  who borrow the money used to provide energy rating improvements to their
				  dwelling units. For people who make energy rating improvements to their
				  dwelling units without borrowing the money to do so, the Corporation has
				  established the home energy rating rebate program in
				  15 AAC 155.300 -
				  15 AAC 155.350.
