SECTION KB-002E - IN-HOUSE FUNDING TERMINOLOGY RULE
Home Ahead may utilize different terminology to describe support provided through Home Ahead's own resources, capital, funding structures, programs, and initiatives.
The preferred terminology may vary depending on the program, audience, support structure, participant experience, and context being described.
Approved umbrella terminology includes:
In-House Financial Assistance
In-House Housing Support Funding
Neither term automatically replaces the other.
The preferred term should be selected according to the specific context, audience, and program being described.
Examples:
Mortgage Relief Program: "In-House Financial Assistance" may be the preferred term where the focus is affordability support, payment assistance, financial relief, restructuring support, or financial stabilization.
Mortgage Custody Program: "In-House Housing Support Funding" may be the preferred term where the focus is housing preservation, long-term housing stability, structured housing support, or housing continuity.
Rent Relief Program: The preferred terminology should reflect the actual support structure of the program and participant experience.
First Condo Program: The preferred terminology should reflect the ownership-access structure, participant experience, support model, and actual form of assistance being provided.
Approved support descriptions may include:
In-House Financial Assistance
In-House Housing Support Funding
In-House Grants
In-House Interest-Free Loans
In-House No-Interest Financing
In-House Payment Assistance
In-House Program Support Funding
Other approved In-House support structures
No Home Ahead communication should imply that all forms of support are identical.
Support should always be described according to its actual structure.
The selected terminology should improve clarity rather than create confusion.
