The 5-year grant option features additional tenant selection requirements to rent to a household exiting homelessness<br>
<br>To get more information specifics about these 2 alternatives, review the areas listed below.<br>
<br>5-Year Grants<br>
<br>Any residential or commercial property, with the exception of tenant occupied systems addressing code non-compliance problems, requesting VHIP 2.0 can choose to get a 5-year grant. This compliance period will begin as soon as the VHIP 2.0 system is positioned in service. This grant needs that:<br>
<br>The system is rented at or below HUD Fair Market Rent for the area for at least 5 years.
That the residential or commercial property supervisor work with Coordinated Entry Lead Organizations to find suitable renters exiting homelessness for a minimum of 5 years or with USCRI to find refugee homes to lease the system to<br>
<br>Participants must sign a rental covenant to this impact. This covenant will work for 5 years and states that for this period, the unit needs to stay a long-term rental with a month-to-month rental rate at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent which the Department of Housing and Community Development need to approve the sale of the residential or commercial property.<br>
<br>Tenant Selection: If the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) or the Homeownership Center (HOC) that provided the grant determines that a home exiting homelessness is not offered to lease the system, the property owner shall lease the system to a household with an earnings equivalent to or less than 80 percent of location typical earnings. If such a family is unavailable, the residential or commercial property owner may lease the unit to another household with the approval of the DHCD or HOC.<br>

When the grant is transformed to a forgivable loan, the residential or commercial property owner will get a 10% credit for loan forgiveness for each year in which the proprietor takes part in the grant program. For instance, if the residential or commercial property owner got involved in the grant program for 2 years prior to converting to a forgivable 20% of the funding will be forgiven, and the forgivable loan terms would make an application for 8 years.<br>
<br>Note. This only uses to jobs that got financing through VHIP 2.0.

The requirements and options detailed here do NOT use to projects approved before March 25, 2024, and those grants can NOT be converted to forgivable loans.<br>
<br>10-Year Forgivable Loans<br>

This compliance duration will begin once the VHIP 2.0 system is placed in service. This grant needs that the unit is rented at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent for the area for at least 10 years. The owner needs to lease the unit for ten years at or listed below FMR to be forgiven in its totality.
