HOMIE is a home solar and thermal insulation company that is currently partnering with Climate First Bank to expand financing channels for low - and middle-income homeowners seeking energy upgrades.

HOMIE founder Travis Montaque said, "Collaborating with Climate First Bank is an important step towards achieving our mission. We are committed to eliminating barriers that prevent families from moving into safe, affordable, and durable homes. Joining hands with Climate First Bank, we are partnering with an institution that upholds our vision of fairness, sustainable development, and healthier communities. Working hand in hand, we will ensure that more people have clear and convenient access to healthier and more energy-efficient homes. ”

Through collaboration with Climate First Bank, HOMIE financing services will be available to homeowners in 49 states. In the past two years, Climate First Bank has issued over $300 million in solar loans.

HOMIE's services cover from initial home health assessment to final installation. HOMIE will integrate with OneEthos, the fintech platform of Climate First Bank, allowing homeowners to access financing options, incentives, and solar tax credits through the platform. Currently, 17% of Climate First Bank's solar loans support low - and middle-income homeowners, and the launch of HOMIE will further expand its influence, the two companies said in a press release.

I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new partnership between Climate First Bank and HOMIE. This cooperation represents an important step forward for the bank in its commitment to providing affordable clean energy.

Chris Castro, Chief Sustainability Officer of Climate First Bank, said, "We are committed to providing solar financing solutions across the United States. By combining the bank's expertise with HOMIE's unique approach, we aim to create impactful initiatives that benefit communities and drive positive change. We will work together to build a brighter and more sustainable future. ”

HOMIE was launched in Florida earlier this year, offering solar and thermal insulation services, and plans to expand its service coverage nationwide.
