Ygrene Energy Fund, which sets up and manages property-assessed clean energy project financing for local governments, on Wednesday said it has teamed with a large public agency provider of home purchase and retrofit loans to expand its program statewide. Because Golden State Finance Authority, formerly California Home Finance Authority or CRHMFA Homebuyers Fund, is a joint-powers agency, the considerable cost and hassle in staff time and documentation required to prepare, set up and run a PACE district is cut to the point that locales can immediately opt in to the new Ygrene program, according to Mike Lemyre, Ygrene vice president of district development.
