APPLICATION FOR DOWN PAYMENT/PURCHASE
ASSISTANCE
The City of North Lauderdale has been
approved to receive approximately $1.9 million from the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to facilitate the purchase and
rehabilitation of vacant foreclosed and abandoned properties that might
otherwise become sources of blight within the community.
If you have not owned a home in the past
three years and are interested in becoming a homeowner, the City of North
Lauderdale may have funds available for down payment, and closing costs to income
eligible homebuyers. This assistance
will help you to purchase an eligible property located anywhere in the City of
North Lauderdale.
Down payment and closing cost assistance is
in the form of a no-interest deferred loan. Since this is a deferred loan program, owner
occupancy for up to fifteen years after closing on the home will be
required. Applicant is responsible for
contributing 1%, or $1000, whichever is greater, towards the down payment
amount required by the lender, and must already be qualified for a thirty (30)
year fixed rate first mortgage with an escrow account.
