15-VII.J. MAXIMUM TERM OF HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE [24 CFR 982.634] Except in the case of a family that qualifies as an elderly or disabled family, other family members (described below) shall not receive homeownership assistance for more than: ~ Fifteen years, if the initial mortgage incurred to finance purchase of the home has a term of 20 years or longer; or ~ Ten years, in all other cases. The maximum term described above applies to any member of the family who: ~ Has an ownership interest in the unit during the time that homeownership payments are made; or ~ Is the spouse of any member of the household who has an ownership interest in the unit during the time homeownership payments are made. In the case of an elderly family, the exception only applies if the family qualifies as an elderly family at the start of homeownership assistance. In the case of a disabled family, the exception applies if at any time during receipt of homeownership assistance the family qualifies as a disabled family. If, during the course of homeownership assistance, the family ceases to qualify as a disabled or elderly family, the maximum term becomes applicable from the date homeownership assistance commenced. However, such a family must be provided at least 6 months of homeownership assistance after the maximum term becomes applicable (provided the family is otherwise eligible to receive homeownership assistance). If the family has received such assistance for different homes, or from different PHAs, the total of such assistance terms is subject to the maximum term described in this part. 15-VII.K. HOMEOWNERSHIP ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS AND HOMEOWNERSHIP EXPENSES [24 CFR 982.635] The monthly homeownership assistance payment is the lower of: the voucher payment standard minus the total tenant payment, or the monthly homeownership expenses minus the total tenant payment. In determining the amount of the homeownership assistance payment, SAHA will use the same payment standard schedule, payment standard amounts, and subsidy standards as those described in elsewhere in this plan for the Housing Choice Voucher program. SAHA will pay homeownership assistance payments to a lender on behalf of the family. If the assistance payment exceeds the amount due to the lender, SAHA must pay the excess directly to the family. Homeownership assistance for a family terminates automatically 180 calendar days after the last homeownership assistance payment on behalf of the family. However, a PHA may grant relief from this requirement in those cases where automatic termination would result in extreme hardship for the family. 11 /29/10 Page 15-15
