The down payment and incidental <br />expenses cannot exceed the maximum payment of $4,000.00. <br />The Department will determine the maximum down payment <br />that the displacee may be eligible to receive based on <br />typical down payments required for the financing of a <br />comparable dwelling with a conventional loan. There is <br />a "matching requirement," however, if the total required <br />down payment and other eligible costs exceed $2,000.00. <br />The displacee will receive $2,000.00 plus 50 percent of <br />any amount required in excess of $2,000.00 on a matching <br />basis up to the maximum of $4,000.00. This means that <br />the displaced person, eligible as defined above, will be <br />required to invest $2,000.00 of his own funds in order to <br />receive the maximum $4,000.00 under this option.
