Financial Services Committee to Hold Hearing on Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods Act
Washington, DC – House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) today announced that the committee will hold a hearing to examine H.R. 6078, the Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods Act of 2008. The bill provides incentives to lenders and financial institutions to provide lower interest loans and other benefits to consumers, who build, buy or remodel their homes and businesses to improve their energy efficiency. This timely legislation reflects the input of a broad coalition of housing advocates, financial institutions, government leaders, developers, and the environmental community.
“This legislation proves that it is easy to be green. This bill helps revitalize our economy by making energy efficiency practices more affordable, accessible and achievable by consumers, businesses and government entities,” said Rep. Ed Perlmutter.
