Hometown
Housing Opportunities, Town Hall Meeting Set for York
York, Nebraska July 6, 2016 — York, Polk and Fillmore
county area residents are invited to a public meeting at the York
Country Club located
at 1016 W Elm Street in York, Nebraska on July 20, 2016
at 5 p.m. The meeting will focus on opportunities available for families and
individuals to achieve the dream of homeownership. USDA Rural Development has approximately $120
million available in Nebraska to assist with meeting the housing needs in rural
communities.
Expanding and preserving
homeownership is an important foundation to the economy and provides stability
in rural communities. Available housing is important in supporting employers in
the community, provides a place “where jobs sleep” and allows families to live
and raise their families in communities where they work.
State and federal partners, community
officials, lenders, realtors, major employers, home builders and other housing
partners will convene for the meeting. Families that are interested in living in
rural communities and owning their own home or existing home owners that need
assistance with home repairs should plan to attend.
A
representative from USDA Rural Development will be available to discuss
programs that offer up to 100% financing for a home purchase. Financing is available with interest rates at
3% and below, and households may qualify for rates as low as 1%.
These
affordable rates with no or a low down payment makes home ownership affordable
and may be less than rent. Low interest rate loans at 1% are also
available for home repairs for existing home-owners for very low income
household. Grants are available for
elderly households 62 years of age or older for home repairs that are unable to
repay a loan.
