Home Improvement Grants Alternative | Forgiveness Loans | Ramsey County, MN
For many homeowners, high utility bills and expensive heating system repairs can be a difficult financial burden.
That’s why we partner with Ramsey County to offer our Energy Conservation Deferred Loan.
The loan is 0% interest, has no monthly payments and is forgiven if the homeowner stays in their home for 10 years.
You can receive up to $6,500 in forgivable financing for the energy improvements you need today, including new furnaces, boilers, and insulation.
Available to qualifying residents of Ramsey County (outside the city of Saint Paul).
This loan is repaid only upon the sale of your home. If you sell within:
- 1-5 years, the entire principal is repaid
- 6-9 years, the amount owed drops 20% per year
- On its 10th anniversary, the loan is forgiven!
