About the MCCB

Massachusetts is grappling with both rising energy costs and an affordable housing crisis. The state’s aging, energy-inefficient housing stock only exacerbates these issues, as low- and moderate-income residents take on additional financial strain in the form of higher utility bills.

Created in 2023, the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank (MCCB) is the first green bank in the U.S. to focus on affordable housing. MCCB works in partnership with state agencies, local officials, utility providers, private banks, and philanthropy to help homeowners and affordable housing developers save energy and create more efficient, comfortable, and healthy homes.
