Title
Allowing a waiver of the re-sale restrictions for owner occupied properties assisted under the HOME or CDBG loan programs when the City of Madison receives full re-payment of the loans per the terms of the promissory notes or where the City receives payment of the net proceeds of any foreclosure action as required by HUD.
Body
WHEREAS, the CDBG Committee based upon a review of community needs, is recommending the waiver of the re-sale restriction for owner occupied properties assisted with HOME or CDBG funds when such a waiver is requested by the homeowner and is accompanied by full repayment of the CBDG Office loan assistance per the terms of the promissory note for the loan; and
WHEREAS, this recommendation will continue to meet HUD's resale/recapture requirement for HOME funds while meeting the City goals of recapturing funds for future development of affordable housing; and
WHEAREAS, allowing these waivers will make the sale and transfer of CDBG Office assisted properties easier for the LMI buyers of those properties;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Madison, hereby allows the CDBG office to approve any future request for the waiver of the re-sale restriction for CDBG Office assisted properties when the homeowner requests such a waiver and will re-pay the CDBG Office loan per the terms of the promissory note, or where the City receives the full net proceeds available from the sale of a HOME assisted property due to foreclosure.
