n August 19,

housing advocates
from across the
state joined
Assemblyman Vito
Lopez and several other
elected officials on the
steps of City Hall to
demand more resources
for affordable housing.
ANHD was represented
well as over a dozen
member groups
participated including
Brooklyn Congregations
United for Action,
Cooper Square
Committee, Fifth Avenue Committee, Flatbush Development Corporation,
Good Old Lower East Side, Make the Road New York, Mirabal Sisters,
NHS, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corp, Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, Pratt Area Community Council, Queens
Community House, and St. Nicks. Assemblyman Lopez, one of the affordable housing communitys strongest allies, announced he was
introducing legislation that would create a Housing Investment Fund and called on the state to invest $500 million annually in affordable
housing.
The Housing Investment Fund, seeded with the Mortgage Insurance Funds excess reserves and resources from the federal Trust Fund, would
provide dedicated funding for affordable housing development and preservation. The Housing Investment Fund would also allow developers to
leverage public and private resources that will result in housing that is truly affordable. Because the Housing Investment Fund would be
designed locally, it would represent the most flexible funds jurisdictions have available to address their affordable housing needs.
Deb Howard, Executive Director of the Pratt Area Community Council and ANHD Board Member, spoke on behalf of ANHD and our 98
members. Deb thanked Assemblyman Lopez for his leadership on affordable housing and for recognizing that it was time for New York to join
the 43 other states that have created an affordable housing trust fund.
One of the principle messages heard from advocates and elected officials alike is that affordable housing development is an effective economic
development tool. Indeed, with a state budget deficit exceeding $2 billion, an unemployment rate of 8.7%, and well over 25,000 reported
foreclosures since January, it seems rational to invest public resources in programs that create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods, generate tax
revenues, and create decent, safe and affordable homes.
Another common message was that this rally is only the beginning and that advocates from across the state will continue to work together and
with Assemblyman Lopez to ensure that sufficient funding is allotted for affordable housing so that every New Yorkers has an affordable place
to call home.

REPORT SHOWS LOW FORECLOSURE RATES FOR
HOME/ADDI HOMEOWNERS
HUD has release a new report, Rates of Foreclosure in
HOME and ADDI Programs, which indicates that
homeowners who received downpayment assistance
through the HOME and American Dream Downpayment
Initiative (ADDI) programs are less likely to be foreclosed
upon than buyers using the standard FHA program.
The study was conducted to address concerns that
homeowners who receive direct assistance may be more
prone to delinquency and foreclosures. As of early
2008, the foreclosure rate for HOME/ADDI homebuyers
who purchased in 2001 was 5.3%, compared to a 6.5%
foreclosure rate for FHA-insured mortgages. The study
also noted that both HOME/ADDI and FHA-insured
homebuyers had significantly lower rates of foreclosures
than those who purchased using a subprime mortgage.
The study also found that homebuyers who had greater
equity in their homes through downpayment assistance
experienced lower foreclosure rates, showing that
programs that are able to provide deeper levels of subsidy
for homeowners may also reduce risks of foreclosure.
The full report, Rates of Foreclosure in HOME and ADDI
Programs, can be found at:
