Course Goal
Prepare community-based, mission-driven lenders to make a strategic shift to integrate clean energy into their everyday multifamily lending practice.
Course Audience
- Community-based and Mission-Driven Lenders such as CDFIs, Credit Unions, Banks or Green Banks; generally, we expect students that are already engaged in multifamily lending.
- Organizations should bring a senior leader to the Course from among the following:
- Executive Staff member such as CEO or COO if they can commit the time
- Director of Lending (the supervisor of the loan officers)
- Another senior staff member such as a Director of Strategic Initiatives
- The organization should empower the team to lead the design of a lending program /product prior to the class beginning.
- We recommend taking the course as a 2-person team. The 2-person team taking the course may utilize assistance from other members of their organization to complete course assignments as long as those team members are responsible for the quality of the final work submitted and for integrating all work into the organization’s lending program plan.
