6. What is the purpose and how does the legislatively directed spending item provide a public benefit that is an appropriate use of taxpayer money?
Michigan Saves will use these legislatively directed funds to strengthen the Michigan Saves loan loss reserve fund (LLR). Michigan Saves will deposit the funds into its existing LLR to leverage private capital that funds residential and commercial energy efficiency and renewable energy loans. For every $1 in LLR, Michigan Saves can leverage approximately $30 in private capital for residential and commercial energy loans. Through 2025, Michigan Saves has supported over $780 million in loans from third-party lenders to Michiganders for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements. Most of the $780 million has flowed directly into local businesses, such heating and cooling companies, plumbing contractors, electrical contractors, window replacement companies, and building contractors. Michigan Saves partners with eight Michigan-based credit unions that provide all the loan capital for our residential financing program. With this investment, Michigan Saves will expand access to affordable financing for energy and healthy home improvements through our partnerships with Michigan credit unions and contractors. And with over 1,500 authorized contractors in our network, Michigan Saves creates economic opportunity throughout the state. Additional information is attached.
