Overview
As part of New York State’s 2017 Housing Plan, the Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Retrofit Program (“Resilient Retrofits”) will make available loans to low to moderate income single-family homeowners whose homes are located in flood-prone areas, enabling them to render their homes more resilient to flood damage and if, desired, to decrease their greenhouse gas emission consumption by improving the energy efficiency of the home and/or electrification of the home’s heating and cooling systems.
Home retrofit scopes may include closing off living-space below the base-flood elevation (BFE), adding better insulation to the envelope, installing high-efficient fixtures and appliances, and replacing aged, fossil fuel combustion heating and cooling systems with electric cold climate heat pumps and raising all mechanicals above the BFE. Onsite generation paired with these measures, such as solar panels or battery back with battery back-up may also be included.
