10 ZIP CODES TO BE REMOVED FROM HHF-DPA PROGRAM
|
|
THDA is required by US Treasury to measure the impact of the Hardest Hit Funds to communities utilizing the funding in the HHF-DPA program which offers $15,000 in down payment assistance in designated ZIP Codes. In the last analysis of the HHF-DPA distress indicators, THDA found that there are 10 ZIP Codes that have seen positive results based on the current data. Therefore these 10 ZIP Codes will be removed from the HHF-DPA Program
effective January 1, 2019
.
Loan applications and purchase agreements dated prior to January 1, 2019 in the named ZIP Codes will remain eligible for HHF-DPA so long as the
loan closing occurs
on or before February 28, 2019
.
The measurements indicate that the program has accomplished its goal to stabilize neighborhoods, decrease foreclosures and increase homeownership in these areas. HHF-DPA has spurred THDA loan production, but has also assisted in stimulating the housing market, as evidenced by these 10 ZIP Codes no longer meeting US Treasury requirements.

on our website, and Program Guide Revision 140

SRP Funds Make Everyone Happy!
As you know from the blasts and newsletters, loans not completed prior to 120 days from closing are subject to a loss of SRP funds. THDA's Closing Department does not want that to happen. Staff sends out monthly case reviews. Please make sure you are watching the dates on the report and uploading the missing and corrected documents. If you need an additional report at any time please email your closer and we will happily send it out to you. Help us make you happy.
