Exhibit A-2 to Subpart E of Part 1965 - Required Clauses for Projects Made Subject to Restrictive-Use Provisions When a Loan is Transferred to a Nonprofit Organization or Public Agency to Avert Prepayment  


Latest version.
  • Multi-Family Housing projects made subject to restrictive-use provisions because of a transfer and subsequent loan to a nonprofit organization or public agency in order to avert prepayment of the loan as described in this subpart are subject to restrictions which are set forth in the loan instruments or security agreements. Loans meeting the preceding conditions with prepayment incentives obligated after the effective date of this regulation will be required to have the following restriction inserted in the deed, conveyance instrument, loan resolution, and assumption agreement, as applicable:

    “The borrower and any successors in interest agree to use the housing for the purpose of housing very low- and low-income people eligible for occupancy as provided in Farmers Home Administration or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 regulations then extant during the remaining useful life of the project. A tenant or person wishing to occupy the housing may seek enforcement of this provision as well as the Government. Throughout the remaining useful life of this project, no eligible person occupying or wishing to occupy the housing shall be required to vacate or be denied occupancy without cause. Rents, other charges, and conditions of occupancy will be set to meet these conditions. The borrower will be released during such period from these obligations only when the Government determines that there is no longer a need for such housing, or that such other financial assistance provided to the residents of such housing will no longer be provided due to no fault, action or lack of action on the part of the borrower.”

    The restrictions are intended to protect only very low- and low-income individuals and families for the remaining useful life of the project, unless the Government subsidy is removed without cause or it is determined there is no longer a need for the housing. These restrictions will not be superceded by new restrictions imposed by subsequent transfers. Eligible moderate-income tenants living at the project at the time of prepayment will not be required to move as a result of the restrictions. Moderate-income applicants for the housing will continue to retain priority over ineligible applicants for the housing.
