Buyer Program (CD)

home buyer program.
Neighborhood Community Services Manager Joseph Wood provided a PowerPoint presentation
regarding the revised first time home buyer program. Specific topics of discussion included an
overview of the program since 2009, original program guidelines, difficult housing conditions,
suggested revision by the State Department of Housing and Community Development, existing
qualifying ratios, key elements of rehabilitation guidelines, and proposed adoption of revisions.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce, Mr. Wood stated the inspection completed after the
work is performed ensures that the funding was utilized for the appropriate repairs.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Wood stated the program is advertised through the
local real estate community, lending agencies including banks and mortgage companies, the
Farmer's Market, and newspapers.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Wood stated the clientele generally qualifies for a
lower mortgage but many of the existing properties are short sales or foreclosures and banks are
not moving quickly on those.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Wood stated program information is available on
the website and the Community Development counter. Mr. Wood stated he is the primary contact
and the final decision is made by the loan review panel. He stated the 2009 funds are good for a
three-year period and must be at least 50% spent before the City can reapply.

associated with making the program work in light of the number of short sales and foreclosures
on the market and the slow turn around by the lending agencies with the process.
