Feds Threaten Homeownership

By
Real Estate Agent with NewEdge Realty

One of our country's most important privately-funded, non-profit housing programs is in jeopardy.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have proposed a rule that will end privately funded down payment assistance programs.

In this fragile housing market, such a rule would have a devastating impact on families and communities, as well as all the real estate and lending professionals whose livelihoods depend on the sale and purchase of homes.

You MUST speak up now! HUD's rule can be stopped if you act now. Tell HUD to withdraw the rule.

Hi Arleen-

Thanks for posting this valuable information. No doubt that many homebuyers certainly need programs of this type : )

It sounds interesting, but I don't know enough about the program and why they are stopping it to "take action".  Can you tell us more about it?

Remember to post another update each week so more members will see this. It is an important program as more and more people need FHA loans to qualify for a loan due to past credit problems
