Primary Knowledge Base material

SECTION KB-100F - SUPPORT STRUCTURES FRAMEWORK

The Mortgage Relief Program is a housing-support program that may utilize a combination of financial assistance opportunities, affordability-support mechanisms, restructuring opportunities, participant-support activities, education, advocacy, planning, and other approved support structures.

The primary objective of all support structures is to improve affordability, improve monthly cash-flow, reduce housing-related financial pressure, preserve meaningful equity where appropriate, and support long-term housing sustainability.

No support structure should be interpreted as automatically available, guaranteed, or applicable to every homeowner.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE & AFFORDABILITY SUPPORT STRUCTURES

Financial assistance and affordability support are among the primary support mechanisms utilized by the Mortgage Relief Program.

Where appropriate and where available through approved program structures, support may include:

• Approved In-House Grants

• Approved In-House Interest-Free Loans

• Approved In-House No-Interest Financing

• One-time financial support structures

• Ongoing financial support structures

• Cost-of-restructuring assistance

• Other approved affordability-support mechanisms

Financial assistance may be utilized to help improve affordability, support cash-flow, bridge affordability gaps, reduce financial pressure, assist with restructuring-related costs, support affordability during transition periods, or strengthen the sustainability of an overall housing solution.

The availability, amount, structure, duration, timing, conditions, limitations, requirements, and approval of any financial assistance remain subject to review and applicable program requirements.

RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT STRUCTURES

Where appropriate, Mortgage Relief may also include opportunities relating to:

• Mortgage restructuring

• Debt restructuring

• Debt consolidation

• Payment reduction

• Cash-flow improvement

• Housing affordability improvement

• Other approved restructuring pathways

The purpose of restructuring support is generally to improve affordability, improve monthly cash-flow, reduce housing-related financial pressure, and support stronger long-term housing sustainability.

RESTRUCTURING-FIRST PRINCIPLE

Mortgage Relief is intended to create sustainable housing outcomes.

Accordingly, financial assistance is generally intended to support, facilitate, strengthen, enhance, or bridge a restructuring solution rather than operate as a standalone long-term solution.

In many situations, financial assistance may be used to help cover some or all restructuring-related costs or to bridge a remaining affordability gap after restructuring has occurred.

Financial assistance generally requires a restructuring component or affordability-improvement strategy.

However, a restructuring solution does not necessarily require financial assistance.

Where a restructuring solution successfully improves affordability and cash-flow to a sustainable level, additional financial assistance may not be necessary.

PARTICIPANT SUPPORT STRUCTURES

Mortgage Relief may also include:

• Program reviews

• Affordability reviews

• Housing-related discussions

• Educational support

• Participant advocacy activities

• Planning discussions

• Coordination activities

• Housing-focused guidance

• Other approved participant-support activities

OPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY REVIEW

In certain situations, Mortgage Relief may also explore opportunities that could improve affordability, improve cash-flow, improve property utilization, improve household income, improve property value, or improve overall housing sustainability.

Such opportunities are secondary and supplemental in nature and are not core Mortgage Relief support structures.

SUPPORT STRUCTURE PRINCIPLE

Mortgage Relief should be understood as a flexible housing-support program that may utilize different support structures depending upon the homeowner's circumstances.

Not all support structures apply to all participants.

Not all support structures are available in all situations.

Support structures may be reviewed, considered, structured, offered, approved, modified, limited, deferred, or declined depending upon the circumstances of the homeowner and the applicable program requirements.

FINAL PRINCIPLE

Eligibility, participation, support structures, financial assistance opportunities, grants, loans, financing, restructuring pathways, affordability-support mechanisms, and program outcomes remain subject to review, documentation, individual circumstances, program requirements, funding availability, professional review where applicable, and Home Ahead's applicable approval processes.

The purpose of this framework is to identify the support structures that may form part of the Mortgage Relief Program while preserving the flexibility necessary to address different homeowner situations.
