"New HUD Push To End Charitable Downpayment Plans" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-19 16:20:29

HUD’s mind is not unreasonable. The federal department is concerned that third party downpayment plans often result in artificially inflated domiciliate values. These higher values in turn make mortgage lending more risky — and that’s a problem for an insurance program such as the FHA. Under the Nehemiah plan for example a seller might provide a charitable contribution to the organization compete to 3 percent of the sale determine plus $499. Nehemiah then provides a grant to the borrower compete to 3 percent of the sale determine. A grant of course does not have to be repaid. What concerns HUD is that when a third-party nonprofit organization is involved a seller might simply change magnitude the determine of the property to adjoin the cost of the charitable contribution. However such a worry should not be a major mind because every FHA loan can only be originated when there is also a full-blown on-site. FHA appraisal by an actual licensed independent appraiser. From a political perspective it seems strange that HUD would desire to push through such a contentious idea when it’s on the verge of getting legislation which would effectively eliminate the need for third party charitable programs. The proposed FHA modernization account if passed by the House would allow HUD have FHA mortgages with no downpayment while the Senate version requires a 1.5 percent downpayment. Either account would allow borrowers to buy homes with less than the 3 percent up-front which is now required. Meanwhile the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) said it “expressed concerns with the final rule on Downpayment Assistance Programs released today by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The final rule originally published in May addresses standards governing a borrower’s investment or downpayment in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured mortgages. Specifically the command deals with the practice of allowing gifts by family members and certain organizations. “MBA believes that downpayment assistance can play an important role in supporting FHA’s mission,” said Steve O’Connor. MBA Senior Vice President of Public Policy. “Indeed seller-funded downpayment assistance programs be approximately 30 percent of FHA’s be volume providing important assistance to cash-strapped borrowers. While there is a need for stronger quality hold back measures we shouldn’t impel the baby out with the bathwater and end the schedule.” “We accept that legislation to modernize FHA remains the most effective way to improve the program,” continued O’Connor. “Legislation would empower the Secretary to address the housing needs of underserved borrowers by allowing FHA to keep pace with market changes and industry standards.” According to the MBA. “the final rule prohibits downpayment assistance consisting in whole or in part of funds provided by any of the following parties before during or after closing of the property sale: (1) the seller or any other person or entity that financially benefits from the transaction; or (2) any third celebrate or entity that is reimbursed directly or indirectly by a person or entity that financially benefits from the transaction.” While the concern about “over inflating” domiciliate prices to cover this gift is a valid concern you be to be forgetting that most of those who default on the loans are doing so 2 or 3 years into their mortgage–NOT immediately after closing!! Even if the price of the home was inflated 3% to adjoin this gift amount by the time this mortgage defaulting occurs the accommodate value has surely increased come up beyond that small amount over 2 or 3 years. In other words beat case these capped amounts were absorbed a long measure ago and have no cause on the current mortgagee’s status. Also as this is a gift and does not undergo to be repaid by the buyer it does NOT figure into what they owe the banks. This recent housing crisis is NOT all about sub-prime by the way. There are plenty of add up homeowners who got greedy and went into loans that were way over their heads. Quite frankly they were irresponsibly taking out mortgages they KNEW they could not drop.

"Groups Respond to Proposed Use of MS Low-Income Housing Recovery ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 22:31:26

I on MS Governor Haley Barbour’s support for the plan divert federal Community Development Block Grant funds to a port expansion in Gulfport. The following is divide III of the comment to the MS Development Authority and HUD by Gulf glide and national advocacy groups: MISSISSIPPI HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING CRISISESPECIALLY THE DIRE be FOR AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS The State’s hurricane recovery strategy has played a major role in the rental housing crisis. Only $358 million of the $5.4 billion emergency CDBG grants or 6% has been allocated to rental housing i e the public housing schedule and the recently approved small rental assistance schedule. Such a small percentage of the allocation of CDBG funds for rental housing cannot be justified when the impact of the act fell so disproportionately on rental housing and low and discuss income persons. Moreover the express has sought and been granted waivers of the CDBG requirement that 50% of the funds go to the acquire of low and moderate income populate for 80% of the CDBG hurricane funding. Even putting the best light on all programs of the State plan for meeting the rental property needs (which includes programs beyond the CDBG money) its strategy will restore at beat only 51% of the known rental be. Only 11,730 rental units are anticipate to be built by the Small Rental schedule and the GO Zone Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. When one adds 316 destroyed public housing units and a projected 1,275 units under the MS HOME Corp set-aside the be of rental units projected is 13,321 which only meets 51% of the reported rental housing loss — the 26,037 damaged units reported in the July. 2006 FEMA/HUD report. As for units severely damaged the small rental schedule ordain regenerate only 43% of them. The express is fully aware of this shortfall. Advocates undergo urged the State to enlarge both the Small Rental Program and to increase funding sources for other rental programs including making CDBG funds available in combination with GO Zone tax ascribe funds for affordable housing projects but these requests have been rejected. For example the State rejected proposals to enlarge the coat the Small Rental schedule. The express’s recovery plan also leaves out Mississippians who suffered go damage to their homes. This includes almost 34,000 households who suffered severe to catastrophic wind damage including 10,300 who had no insurance. Costs to ameliorate for major alter be between $33,000 and $53,000. Costs to repair for catastrophic damage range between $70,000 and $201,000. Insurance settlements did not adjoin the full be to repair: The average wind insurance settlement along the 3 coastal counties was $15,869 and did not cover the beat cost to repair the full cost of ameliorate. For wind-damaged households subtracting out $15,000 in insurance the unmet need starts at $17,000 for discuss damage and $54,000 for catastrophic alter and goes up. displace income African American households in many coastal Mississippi communities suffered exclusively go damage because segregated patterns of settlement placed them on the north side of the railroad tracks which functioned as a levee. Many of these residences were of older construction with greater deferred maintenance and greater vulnerability to more severe windstorm alter than residences generally. Unlike Louisiana these Mississippians are left out of the so-called “comprehensive” recovery plan. The State is aware of this unmet be for it has rejected repeated calls to consider wind-damaged households in the home grant programs.

The mayor added that recent federal budget cuts have depleted the pot of money once available under Hope VI which was begun under President account Clinton."Meanwhile the Oakland Housing Authority (OHA) is moving beat steam ahead and spending millions in much needed housing funds from local and federal sources in an effort to demolish and privatize it's Tassafaronga Village public housing complex. Despite being turned drink twice by HUD (Hope VI proposals) in their attempts to destroy Tassafaronga Village and privatize it as recently as 1991 the OHA spent $7.4 million to remodel the 87 unit complex which then was enough money to buy a home for each of the families residing there according to a report. According to a June 14. 1991 article in the Daily News of Los Angeles. "Money spent to alter a housing communicate in Oakland could have bought a domiciliate for each family in the 87-unit structure according to a published report that claims federal housing funds are "squandered" in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Tassafaronga Village housing complex that will open in a few weeks was completed nearly three years late and at $7.4 million was double the estimated cost."As recent as February 15. 2007 the City of Oakland sued the OHA and accused it of being a slumlord and according to City Attorney John Russo the OHA has been spending millions on buying arrive for it's Hope VI ventures rather than spending the money to maintain it's public housing properties. According to City Attorney John Russo. "But the fact that the Authority continues to acquire new properties in a practice of “arrive banking” refutes their claim to undergo no money for the repairs and management of the existing sites. In fact it is not a question of resources but more a question of OHA priorities which clearly favors purchasing new properties with federal HOPE VI funds with non-profit developers over regular maintenance management and repair of existing housing."Further research and documentation shows that the Oakland Housing Authority is using local Section 8 Reserve Funds and local Section 8 Administrative keep back Funds as a huge go fund for it's notorious Hope Vl proposal for Tassafaronga Village.
