The property management software company Yardi Systems announced the availability of Energy Relief from Yardi for state and local agencies implementing programs under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2021.
According to the company, Energy Relief is built on technology for managing programs that deliver direct financial assistance to beneficiaries. Predecessors to Energy Relief include the company’s Rent Relief, Mortgage Relief and Utility Relief offerings.
Yardi stated Energy Relief can be used by state agencies administering programs such as Solar for All, Home Energy Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates. These programs are funded via grants from federal offices to states, municipalities, counties and nonprofit organizations. Homeowners and contractors can use an online interface through Energy Relief to submit applications for assistance and to purchase energy-efficient equipment for their homes and properties.
Additionally, Yardi will offer services related to its new product including program design and implementation, call center support, application review and approval and payments.
“We’re excited to introduce Energy Relief to support these important energy rebate and solar programs,” said Greg Smith, vice president at Yardi, headquartered in Santa Barbara, California.
