Program Specific Requirements

AP-90 Program Specific Requirements[36]

Introduction

The City of Framingham’s CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) finances a series of projects primarily in South Framingham but also support projects that are community wide. For each institutional project, the City enters into a contract with nonprofit agencies or municipal departments. In the case of housing rehabilitation assistance that helps low- and moderate-income homeowners repair their properties in Framingham, those clients also sign an agreement with the City. Below are the key provisions in the promissory notes signed by them. The entire principal shall be forgiven on (determined date) unless one or more of the following shall have occurred:

  1. Borrower is no longer the legal owner of the property; or
  2. Borrower no longer lives at the property as her primary residence; or
  3. Borrower has rented, leased or otherwise allowed other parties to reside at or use the property without the express written consent of the City through the Community Development Department; or
  4. Borrower has refinanced underlying mortgages/liens and taken cash out of the property without the express written permission of City.

Upon the occurrence of any of the above events, the principal sum shall immediately become due and payable to the Community Development Department or such other place as the City may designate.
