Now that Leslie Newmans is on board the team, she is associated with a program many of you may be interested in.
It’s called the HOP program, and here’s how it works…
Home Ownership Pool (“HOP”) Program
Program Overview
Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s HOME OWNERSHIP POOL (“HOP”) PROGRAM is designed to be a noncompetitive, ongoing program, with qualified Developers reserving funds for eligible home buyers to provide purchase assistance on a first-come, first-served basis in purchasing an affordable new home. Florida Housing will provide funds in the amount necessary.
Eligible home buyers, whose adjusted income does not exceed 80% AMI, receive a 0% deferred second mortgage loan for the lesser of 25% of the purchase price of the home or $70,000 or the amount necessary to meet underwriting criteria. Eligible Home buyers with disabilities and Eligible Home buyers at 50% AMI or below, receive a 0% deferred second mortgage loan for the lesser of 35% of the purchase price of the home or $80,000 or the amount necessary to meet underwriting criteria.

In Houston we also have buyer assistance programs with similar requirments to what is noted here. However, we find that it is difficult to impliment it to assist our buyers. How well does your system work in Panama City and what would you consider the best part of the regulation?
James,
Leslie Newmans is our HOP expert and I’m going to request she follow up and answer your questions. My opinion is that for low income families it is a great alternative to rural development housing.
I believe the implementation for them takes a bit longer but all in all I believe it is a good program.
Thanks for your comment and inquiry.
