Description
Offers a home repair loan with one percent interest and deferred principal payments for low-income homeowners.
Total loan is due at the end of 30 years or when the property is sold, refinanced, transferred, or death of owner (except for joint tenant survivorship) or breaches the agreement.
Loan can be used for repairs, accessibility, deferred maintenance, code violations, and in some cases, house reconstruction. The programs also require energy efficient and water conservation products.
Loans are not subordinate to future financing. They cannot be combined with "reverse" mortgages or used to take cash or equity out. Refinancing existing debt is allowed only in special hardship cases with extra evaluation.
