GreenStreet Loans Open Eco-Friendly Doors

From our partners at Umpqua Bank:

Our GreenStreet Lending program provides preferred loan rates and waived fees for energy-efficiency projects. But what GreenStreet truly provides is a more-affordable way for our neighbors to reduce their energy bills and invest in a greener community while making their homes more cozy. For us, it provides a way to uphold our commitment to the communities we serve.

Because of this successful combination and the continuing need for energy-efficiency investments, we are pleased to extend the program’s offerings to homeowners in all the communities we serve across Oregon, California, Nevada and Washington.

Since we launched GreenStreet in 2008, we’ve funded more than 125 projects in our home state of Oregon. As part of the program, we partner with contractors who specialize in energy efficiency and can help guide homeowners on energy-saving and renewable-energy opportunities. In Oregon, partners include: Solarize Northwest and Solarize North Portland, and the Home Performance Contractors Guild of Oregon. In Washington, we’re working with Solarize Queen Anne in Seattle. We’re pursuing similar partnerships in California and Nevada.
