CAEATFA

The CAEATFA team welcomes Christina Sarron as new Executive Director. The Board approved her appointment on 10/15, and Treasurer Ma swore her in earlier this week with the in-office contingent attending. Welcome to the team, Christina!

We're pleased to announce a $30M partnership with California Energy Commission's Equitable Building Decarbonization program to extend GoGreen Home eligibility to 7 million California residents through 2029. GoGreen Home's low interest rates and extended terms can help Californians invest in decarbonizing their homes with heat pumps, solar bundled with battery storage, insulation and other clean energy and energy efficiency upgrades -- ultimately helping the Golden State reach its ambitious climate goals.

The GoGreen Home program partnered with Inclusive Prosperity Capital and used their innovative single-family project management tool, NGEN, to launch the GoGreen Home Portal in July, marking a major program transition from a clunky project process to a streamlined platform with job tracking functionality and a centralized communication system. Feedback from our lenders and contractors is excellent. One lender wrote, “The portal has been EXACTLY what we needed! THANK YOU!” We thank the IPC team for helping us make financing energy upgrades easier for lenders, contractors and most importantly, California residents! #cleanenergy #financing #partners #sustainability #operations #markettransformation
