Housing Trust Fund Homeownership Value Limits

Description

The Housing Trust Fund (HTF) statute, section 1338(c)(7)(B)(ii), requires housing for homeownership to have an initial purchase price that meets the requirements of section 215(b)(1) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (HOME statute). The HTF Interim Rule at 24 CFR 93.305(a) requires that the initial purchase price or after-rehabilitation value of homeownership units assisted with HTF funds meet the definition of modest housing and that the purchase price of HTF assisted single family housing cannot exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area for newly constructed or standard housing.

Newly Constructed Housing: The HTF homeownership value limits for newly constructed HTF units is 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area based on Federal Housing Administration (FHA) single family mortgage program data for newly constructed housing. Nationwide, HUD has established a minimum limit, or floor, based on 95 percent of the U.S. median purchase price for new construction for non-metropolitan areas. This figure is determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. HUD has used the greater of these two figures as their HTF homeownership value limit for newly constructed housing in each area.

Existing Housing: The HTF homeownership value limit for existing HTF units is 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area based on Federal FHA single family mortgage program data for existing housing and other appropriate data that are available nationwide for sale of existing housing in standard condition. Nationwide, HUD has established a minimum limit, or floor, based on 95 percent of the state-wide non-metropolitan area median purchase price using this data. HUD has used the greater of these two figures as their HTF homeownership value limits for existing housing in each area.

Grantee Determined Limits: In lieu of the limits provided by HUD, an HTF grantee may determine 95 percent of the median area purchase price for single family housing in the jurisdiction annually in accordance with procedures established at § 93.305(a)(2). The grantee must submit these limits as part of its HTF allocation plan.

The effective date of the 2023 Homeownership Value Limits is July 1, 2023. These limits remain in effect until HUD issues new limits.
