The 5-year grant choice features extra tenant selection requirements to lease to a household exiting homelessness<br>
<br>To get more information specifics about these two alternatives, examine the sections listed below.<br>
<br>5-Year Grants<br>
<br>Any residential or commercial property, with the exception of tenant inhabited units attending to code non-compliance issues, making an application for VHIP 2.0 can decide to get a 5-year grant. This compliance duration will start when the VHIP 2.0 system is placed in service. This grant requires that:<br>
<br>The system is leased at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent for the area for a minimum of 5 years.
That the residential or commercial property manager work with Coordinated Entry Lead Organizations to discover suitable tenants leaving homelessness for at least 5 years or with USCRI to find refugee families to rent the system to<br>
<br>Participants should sign a rental covenant to this effect. This covenant will be reliable for 5 years and states that for this period, the unit needs to stay a long-term rental with a monthly rental rate at or below HUD Fair Market Rent and that the Department of Housing and Community Development need to authorize 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 that a family exiting homelessness is not available to rent the unit, the property manager shall lease the system to a family with an earnings equivalent to or less than 80 percent of location median earnings.

<br>Note. This only applies to projects that received funding through VHIP 2.0. The preliminary VHIP funding was sourced from State Fiscal Recovery Funds, which had various regulations. The requirements and alternatives laid out 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>
<br>Any residential or commercial property requesting VHIP 2.0 can opt to get a 10[-year forgivable](https://www.seasideapartments.co.za) loan. This compliance duration will begin as soon as the VHIP 2.0 unit is put in service. This grant needs that the system is rented at or listed below HUD Fair [Market Rent](https://seasiderealestate.al) for the area for a minimum of ten years.
