Green Home Improvement Loans Available!
The Victory Neighborhood Association is making $73,000 of NRP funds available to Victory residents for "green" exterior and interior home improvements. Our 1920s to 1940s vintage homes are beautiful but many are energy inefficient. The Home Improvement Loan Program (HILP) is designed to encourage environmentally friendly, sustainable and energy efficient home improvements that meet certain "green" standards. In addition applicants will be required to secure an energy audit and include the results of the audit with their application materials. Homeowners will also have the option of pursuing, MN Green Star Certification of their home improvement project and if they are successful in obtaining certification they can have a portion of their loan forgiven.

The Victory Neighborhood, part of the Camden community, is located in the northwest corner of Minneapolis. It derives its name from Victory Memorial Drive, a lovely parkway running through the neighborhood that was dedicated in honor of Hennepin County soldiers who died in World War I. The neighborhood is bounded on the south by Dowling Avenue, Memorial Parkway on the west, the Canadian Pacific railyards on the north and Newton Avenue on the east.
