Glendale’s Council Quick take is here to give you the breakdown on the City’s Weekly Council Meetings. On August 25, 2020, Council met for the Glendale Housing Authority as well as their regularly scheduled Council Meeting.
Housing Authority
Community Development, re: First Time Homebuyer Program COVID-19 Financial Relief Proposed Policy Change The Glendale Housing Authority adopted a policy change to its First Time Homebuyer Program that would give temporary financial relief to its borrowers who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This policy includes an up to 180-day, interest-free forbearance of mortgage payments to any borrower experiencing financial hardship. The 180-day period is to be broken up into two, 90 day periods, if necessary. At the end of the first 90 days, a balloon payment will be due. If that repayment cannot be made, the guidelines allow up to an additional 90-day forbearance where the aforementioned conditions apply. At the end of the second 90-day period, if the borrower isn’t able to commit to a repayment plan, their loan will be modified, adding up to an additional 180 days to the loan term, and the missed payments will be recouped on the back end.
