Purpose

(Open 9/3/26) Philadelphia Green Capital Corp. (PGCC) is seeking information on upcoming multi-family housing projects across Pennsylvania that may be eligible for PGCC financing. This RFI will help PGCC build a pipeline of qualified opportunities, connect projects to available capital, and inform future outreach and funding requests. Submitting a project does not guarantee financing.

PGCC has lending capital from the National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) available for projects that can close in the next 4-12 months. Rates and terms in the applicable products below are contingent upon NCIF funding availability.

Eligible Projects

PGCC is seeking information on multi-family housing projects (single properties or scattered sites of more than 5 units) statewide in Pennsylvania that involve one or more of the following:

• New construction or substantial rehabilitation pursuing an energy rating above current building code, particularly projects also pursuing electrification, green building certifications, and/or other sustainable design features. New construction that does not meet the Federal Definition of a Net Zero Building may be subject to additional funder approval.
• Energy efficiency, water efficiency/conservation, or climate resilience retrofits to existing affordable multi-family properties.
• Clean energy generation and/or storage (e.g. solar, storage, geothermal) or clean transportation infrastructure (e.g. EV charging) at new or existing multifamily properties.
• Projects with a funding gap that could be bridged by interim financing ahead of grants, tax credits, rebates, or other committed sources.

Projects located in Low-Income and Disadvantaged Communities (LIDACs), Rural or Tribal communities, or that have 50% of units affordable at 80% AMI are preferred but not required.
