Homebuyer Purchase Rehabilitation
The City of Belding received a Homebuyer Purchase Rehabilitation grant (HPR). The program will supply up to $10,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance, and up to $20,000 in rehabilitation money to income-eligible purchasers (less than 80% median income) for the purchase of a home within the City of Belding.

Currently the following household income limits are based on adjusted gross income:

1 person, under $32,850
2 persons, under $37,550
3 persons, under $42,250
4 persons, under $46,950
5 persons, under $50,000
6 persons, under $54,000
7 persons, under $58,000
8 persons, under $62,000

The money will be zero-percent deferred loans with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. All MSHDA loan money is prorated over ten years, being calculated monthly and forgiven after 10 years of residing in the home. The money has a 10-year forgivable loan, and must be paid back based on the prorated amount, if the home is sold or refinanced prior to the 10-year period. Income-eligible buyers must be able to obtain a primary, 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage with a competitive interest rate.

For more information on the program, please contact Marilyn Smith at 734-341-1866 or ms@smithhousing.com.
