NOTICE OF PROPOSED
CHANGES TO THE
HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM PLAN
June 22, 2020
The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) is requesting to add additional guidance to the Homeownership Program Plan, listed as an attachment to the Moving To Work (MTW) Annual Plan, requiring participants to reduce the amount borrowed from the 1st mortgage lender in order to achieve an affordable Homeownership Expense Payment as defined by the HACP, and to utilize the full amount of additional, deferred payment mortgages, prior to applying HACP assistance to the transaction, if applicable.
In addition, the HACP is requesting to add the guidance advising that participants must utilize a licensed professional to assist with their purchase including, but not limited to, drafting sales contracts and to change the soft second mortgage from a forgivable mortgage to a Shared Appreciation Mortgage (SAM) for households that may be eligible to receive more than $52,000 subsidy to achieve an affordable Homeownership Expense Payment. The HACP’s second deferred payment mortgage will be forgiven at a rate of 10% each year up to $52,000. For participants, whose deferred mortgage loan amounts exceed $52,000, the term will be for 99 years and a share of the home’s appreciation is due upon resale for the portion of the loan that is in excess of $52,000.
Finally, the HACP is requesting to add a subordination policy statement to the Homeownership Plan, and to add a statement clarifying the clause that “buyer is not responsible for repairs” that is required on the sales contract.
DATES AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW: June 22 – July 22, 2020
Proposed changes can be reviewed on the HACP website at www.hacp.org; or, copies of the proposed changes can be requested via mail or email by contacting: DeAnna.Vaughn@hacp.org
The HACP will hold a meeting to receive public comments via Zoom on July 22, 2020, from 12 to 1 p.m., and from 5:30 to 6 p.m. The HACP will gather all comments and review them at the close of the comment period. All written comments will be retained by the HACP and shall be available for inspection upon request. All requests should be made to Deanna.Vaughn@hacp.org
PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: AUGUST 1, 2020
