Green energy financing opposed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Shared by Sara on Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:57 am

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have vetoed the White House backed green financing program which is alternatively known as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). The state and other federal officials had argued that the loans made under the green financing program are safe and the repayment takes priority over the home loans. However Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have rejected their arguments. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the PACE loans may create unusual challenges for the mortgage investors and servicers.

Hey Sara,

Thanks for sharing this news! Smile

California Special Assistant Attorney General Cliff Rechtschaffen has said that he and his department will keep persuading the Federal Housing Finance Agency to change it's position so that a large number of borrowers can reap benefits of the Green Financing Program.

Under this program, the cities will issue municipal bonds and then originate loans for the property owners who can replace windows, doors and other materials to cut their energy usage and install various renewable energy systems like rooftop solar panels, etc. A senior lien is placed on the property in order to recover the dues and they have priority over mortgage loans.

Thanks,

Jerry
