Revised: New Retention Agreement Requirement | |
February 4, 2016 Effective January 29, 2016, members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “Bank”) are required to record a retention agreement against owner-occupied properties that received funds through Community Investment programs, including Downpayment Plus® (“DPP®”) and Downpayment Plus Advantage® (“DPP Advantage®”) ─ the Bank’s set-aside programs ─ and the competitive Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”).
REVISED DETAILS: All owner-occupied competitive AHP projects awarded in 2015 and 2016 DPP® and DPP Advantage® transactions are required to record a retention agreement.
For units located in Wisconsin and Illinois, members are required to record the retention agreement verbatim, as provided by the Bank, and may not record a mortgage lien in the amount of the subsidy against the property.
