SECTION KB-200G - PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS, FUNDING STRUCTURES & SUPPORT FRAMEWORK
Purpose
The purpose of this section is to define participant contributions, program support structures, funding-related support mechanisms, and the distinction between participant contributions and ownership opportunities within the First Condo Program.
Core Principle
The First Condo Program is an ownership-access program.
Participant contributions do not purchase ownership.
Participant contributions do not purchase selection.
Participant contributions do not purchase qualification.
Participant contributions do not purchase placement within the Ownership Registry.
Participant contributions do not purchase mortgage approval.
Participant contributions do not purchase a property.
Participant contributions do not guarantee closing.
Participant contributions do not guarantee ownership.
The purpose of participant contributions is to support specific program administration, legal, review, documentation, and ownership-opportunity related activities associated with the program.
Participant Contribution Structure
The program may utilize a participant contribution structure consisting of:
• $500 Initial Contribution Deposit
• $950 Home Ahead Program Administration Contribution
• $1,500 Legal Contribution / Lawyer Retainer Contribution
Total Participant Contribution:
$2,950
The timing and collection of contributions may vary depending on the structure of the opportunity, participant status, legal requirements, and applicable program processes.
Program administrators may amend contribution timing, collection methods, or administrative procedures where necessary to support program administration.
Contribution Purpose
Participant contributions may be utilized to support:
• Program administration
• Participant review
• Qualification review
• Ownership-opportunity review
• Documentation management
• Legal coordination
• Lawyer retainers
• Program operations
• Registry administration
• Participant support
• Ownership-opportunity administration
• Other approved program-related functions
Participant contributions should not be represented as a purchase of ownership rights.
Not Pay-To-Enter
The First Condo Program should not be described as a pay-to-enter program.
Participant contributions do not create an automatic right to:
• Qualification
• Registry Placement
• Selection
• Mortgage Approval
• Property Access
• Ownership
Contribution and qualification are separate concepts within the program structure.
Not Pay-To-Win
The First Condo Program should not be described as a pay-to-win program.
Participant contributions do not improve a participant's likelihood of selection.
Participant contributions do not create preferential treatment.
Participant contributions do not create ownership rights.
Participant contributions do not create entitlement to an ownership opportunity.
Qualification, review, suitability, program requirements, opportunity requirements, and other applicable factors remain the basis upon which opportunities are considered.
Funding Structures
The First Condo Program may incorporate one or more support structures including:
• In-House Grants
• In-House Interest-Free Loans
• In-House No-Interest Financing
• Closing-Cost Support
• Down-Payment Support
• Ownership-Access Support
• Other approved support structures
The availability, structure, amount, timing, and application of any support mechanism may vary depending on the participant, opportunity, property, funding availability, program requirements, and applicable approvals.
Support Structure Principle
Support structures exist to help reduce barriers to ownership.
Support structures should generally be viewed as tools that support ownership opportunities rather than as stand-alone benefits.
Support structures do not create automatic ownership rights.
Support structures do not guarantee selection.
Support structures do not guarantee mortgage approval.
Support structures do not guarantee closing.
Support structures do not guarantee ownership.
Funding Availability Principle
All funding-related support remains subject to:
• Availability
• Program Requirements
• Internal Review
• Opportunity Structure
• Funding Availability
• Participant Circumstances
• Documentation Requirements
• Applicable Approval Processes
Support structures may change over time based on program needs, available funding, market conditions, and program administration requirements.
Transparency Principle
The First Condo Program should always communicate participant contributions, support structures, and ownership opportunities in a transparent manner that accurately reflects the actual structure of the program.
Contributions should never be represented as purchasing ownership outcomes.
Guiding Principle
Participant contributions support the administration of the ownership-opportunity process, while support structures exist to help reduce ownership barriers. Neither contributions nor support structures should be interpreted as guarantees of qualification, selection, financing approval, closing, or ownership.
