Neighborhood Stabilization Program - Homeownership Loan Programs
NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM HOMEOWNERSHIP LOAN PROGRAMS
Under Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), federal funds will be released by HUD to implement two new Homeownership products. MSHDA has set aside $10,000,000 of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to provide additional home ownership opportunities to eligible borrowers who meet MSHDA’s NSP income limits and sales price limit of $224,500. Borrowers must purchase an existing foreclosed or abandoned property in an "area of greatest need,” as defined by HUD.
NSP 80/20 Loan Program
The abandoned or foreclosed property has been purchased, rehabbed, and is now being sold by a MSHDA Grantee or Non-Profit Agency to an eligible borrower who is obtaining 100% financing from the Homeownership Division.
NSP Acquisition Rehab Loan Program
The eligible borrower purchases an existing abandoned or foreclosed property and the Homeownership Division provides downpayment assistance up to $10,000 for properties not requiring repairs, or up to $25,000 if including the cost of repairs.
With both programs, the second lien is a 0%, non-amortizing loan, forgivable over a 10 year term at 10% per year.
These programs are effective July 7, 2009 through MSHDA-approved participating lenders on a first-come, first-served basis. You may contact a lender who has expressed interest in participating in this program, or for further information contact MSHDA at (517) 373-6840.
HUD Areas of Greatest Need
The Foreclosure Risk Score of the property must be 6 or greater to qualify for these products. Please use the Property Census Tract Code Locator link to find the property's six-digit census tract code, then use the Risk Scores by County and Census Tract link to determine the Foreclosure Risk Score.
