<br>- The duration for which the [residential](https://lebanon-realestate.org) or commercial property owner must charge at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent for the enrolled systems (5 v ten years).
The 5-year grant alternative includes extra renter selection requirements to lease to a family leaving homelessness<br>
<br>For more information specifics about these two alternatives, examine the areas below.<br>
<br>5-Year Grants<br>
<br>Any residential or commercial property, with the exception of occupant occupied systems resolving code non-compliance problems, obtaining VHIP 2.0 can choose to get a 5-year grant. This compliance duration will begin once the VHIP 2.0 unit is placed in service. This grant needs that:<br>
<br>The unit is rented at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent for the location for at least 5 years.
That the residential or commercial property manager deal with Coordinated Entry Lead Organizations to discover suitable renters exiting homelessness for a minimum of 5 years or with USCRI to find refugee families to lease the system to<br>
<br>Participants should sign a rental covenant to this effect. This covenant will work for 5 years and states that for this period, the unit must stay a long-term leasing with a regular monthly rental rate at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent and that the 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 grant identifies that a home exiting homelessness is not readily available to lease the unit, the property manager will rent the unit to a family with an income equal to or less than 80 percent of location median income. If such a home is unavailable, the residential or commercial property owner may lease the system to another home with the approval of the DHCD or HOC.<br>
<br>Grant to Loan Conversion: A property manager might transform a grant to a forgivable loan upon approval by DHCD and the HOC that approved the grant. When the grant is converted to a forgivable loan, the residential or commercial property owner shall get a 10% credit for loan forgiveness for each year in which the property manager participates in the grant program. For example, if the residential or commercial property owner took part in the grant program for 2 years prior to transforming to a forgivable 20% of the financing will be forgiven, and the forgivable loan terms would obtain 8 years.<br>
<br>Note. This only applies to projects that got funding through VHIP 2.0. The preliminary VHIP financing was sourced from State Fiscal Recovery Funds, which had various guidelines. The requirements and choices outlined here do NOT apply to jobs authorized 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 loan. This compliance duration will begin once the VHIP 2.0 system is placed in service. This grant needs that the system is rented at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent for the location for at least ten years. The owner should rent the system for 10 years at or below FMR to be forgiven in its whole. Funds will need to be repaid to the State of Vermont for each year this requirement is not fulfilled i.e. if an owner only leases the unit for 7 years at or listed below FMR, 3 years (30%) of funding will not be forgiven.<br>
