Description
This program, administered by New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) through the Housing Trust Fund Corporation, provides a combination of low-interest construction loans and forgivable grants to eligible single-family homeowners. The goal is to help low- and middle-income households in New York State make their homes more resilient to flooding and extreme weather, while also supporting energy efficiency and electrification improvements. Program administrators are responsible for outreach, loan servicing, grant administration, and construction management. The initiative aims to prevent displacement after weather events and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by fortifying homes and upgrading energy systems.
