Interest-free loan; no public dollar cap stated on the main page.
Boston homeowners can get an interest-free loan for eligible green, health, and safety repairs when paired with a Mass Save assessment. The page says income-eligible homeowners may use it for home improvements that also make the house more resilient, but it does not publish a single headline dollar cap on the main page.
Program details
How it works
The City of Boston’s Home Center says the HomeWorks Green Loan Program provides financial assistance to income-eligible homeowners who have received a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment and want to pursue renovations that improve energy efficiency. The city says the program can help reduce utility bills, unlock Mass Save incentives, resolve barriers to electrification, and make necessary health and safety repairs.
What the money covers
The city says eligible repairs are green home repairs and energy upgrades. It also says the loans can help cover necessary health and safety repairs. The main program page does not list a detailed item-by-item scope or a single public dollar maximum.
Amounts and matching
The city says the loans are interest-free. It also says homeowners with annual household income between 120% and 135% of Area Median Income must match the City-funded loan 1:1 with their own funds or with a bank loan.
How to apply
To get started, a homeowner signs up for a Mass Save energy assessment and asks the energy auditor if HomeWorks Green is a good financing option. If eligible, the homeowner gets financing through the Boston Home Center and a referral from a Mass Save vendor. Boston Home Center staff then review the application and documents.
Timing and deadlines
The main page does not state an application deadline or funding close date.
