Summary:
Energy Conservation Loans for single families are available through the Connecticut Housing Investment Fund, Inc. (CHIF) to owners of one- to four-family homes who meet established income limits for family size and location. These loans may be used for a variety of energy conservation improvements. Interest rates vary in accordance with the borrower's family size and income, and the loan may be repaid over 10 years.  
 
Loans for large residential properties are available through the Multi-Family Energy Conservation Loan Program. The terms of this loan are similar to loans for single-family dwellings, with a higher principal available on the loan.  
 
Applications for these programs are available from the program web site above. In addition to the application, the borrower must submit copies of the past two years' federal tax returns (with schedules) and a copy of a monthly mortgage statement or coupon (or a release of mortgage or deed).
