Purchase price is subject to change based on Village/Sponsor requirements and changes to the HUD annual income limits.

*Based on 2024 HUD median income guidelines. Income limits change annually based on HUD established Nassau/Suffolk median guidelines and for purposes of rounding adjustments.

 

Income includes all income – overtime, bonuses, pensions, social security, 401K distributions, tips, etc. Total household income minus allowable exclusions cannot exceed the maximum annual income listed above for your household size.  LIHP must project the income that will be received for the upcoming 12-month period. Tax returns will be required for all household members whose earnings will be used as part of the income qualification.   

Asset Limitation Policy

The mission of LIHP is to provide affordable housing opportunities to those who, through the ordinary, unaided operation of the marketplace, would be unable to secure decent and safe homes.  Therefore, there is an established limit on the amount of assets a household may have to be eligible for this program.  After deducting the purchaser’s cash investment and estimated closing costs, any household with net liquid assets and equity of more than 25% of the purchase price will be deemed ineligible for this program.  Equity in real property IS INCLUDED in the asset calculation.  Transfers of real property made up to two (2) years prior to the date that this Program’s application was signed by the applicant will be included in the asset calculation.  


First Time Home Buyer Requirement

This program is limited to first-time homebuyers only as described below:

•          A household that has not owned a home during the three-year period immediately prior to the date of application for assistance is considered to be a first-time homebuyer.

•     Applicants may own vacant land or a vacation timeshare provided that they have not received the benefits of the mortgage interest deduction and/or property tax deduction during the prior three years from date of application for assistance.

•     Applicants who do not hold title to a home but did receive the benefits of the mortgage interest deduction and/or property tax deduction during the prior three years from date of application are not considered first-time homebuyers.

•     Please contact LIHP with any questions regarding this requirement.


Home Buyer Contribution

Applicants, at time that the application is submitted to LIHP, must have a minimum of 3% of the purchase price in savings and/or checking accounts (not a gift) or verifiable liquid assets from their own funds to apply towards the down payment.  The amount required for a 3% down payment must be shown in the most recent bank statements.  The bank statements submitted must show the bank name, account holder’s name and account number with a detailed list of transactions.  At a minimum, the applicant should expect to need sufficient funds of 5-10% of the sales price for down payment and closing costs.

 

Gift Letter

LIHP will allow a gift letter from an immediate family member stating that the money provided is in the form of a gift and will not have to be repaid.  This letter must be signed, notarized and submitted with the Formal Program Application.  This gift contribution cannot be used towards meeting the required minimum 3% home buyer down payment contribution referenced above.

 

Principal Residence Requirement

Applicants must occupy the property as their primary residence and shall not rent or lease the premises or any portion thereof to others.    Occupants who purchase a home may be required to certify to the Village on an annual basis that they are occupying the home as their principal residence.

 

Re-Sale Restrictions; Village Right of First Refusal

Pursuant to Village requirements, the units must remain affordable in perpetuity.  Therefore, there will be restrictions placed on the homes in order to maintain affordability upon future home re-sales pursuant to the Resale Restrictions attached hereto as Exhibit A and requirements of the Village set forth at Chapter 40 of the Village Code, as each may be amended from time to time or at any time, as Sponsor and/or Village may determine.  These Resale Restrictions  limit equity upon resale, restrict capital improvements, limit profit upon resale and will be documented and recorded against the home by the Village. The Village retains a right of first refusal to purchase any Affordable Home on resale.

 

Buyer Benefit Lien

Pursuant to Village requirements as set forth on Chapter 40 of the Village Code, the Village will obtain, at its cost and expense, an appraisal of the unit to determine its fair market value.  The difference between such appraised value and the purchase price is referred to by the Village as the “Buyer Benefit.”  At closing, the Village will  place a lien in the amount of the Buyer Benefit on the unit to be recorded against the unit.

 

Additional Village Requirements

The sale and occupancy of the Affordable Units is subject to Chapter 40 of the Village Code and other applicable provisions. Applicants are advised to consult same for additional restrictions and requirements concerning the Affordable Units.

 

Pre-Purchase Home Ownership Counseling

Eligible applicants are required to attend homebuyer pre-purchase home ownership counseling.  Certified counselors through LIHP will conduct the counseling.  There is no charge for the counseling.  Please do not make an appointment for counseling until you receive a formal letter from LIHP that you are eligible for the program.

 

 Mortgage Ability

Applicants must have adequate resources and credit to qualify for a home mortgage, if applicable.  LIHP can assist qualified applicants in securing a mortgage.  However, it is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure a mortgage.  Applicants must submit to LIHP all standard documentation required for mortgage processing, including signed copies of the last three years of their Federal Income Tax Returns, W-2 forms, 1099 statements, four (4) most recent consecutive pay stubs, two (2) most recent, consecutive months bank statements (all pages) and investment accounts showing assets needed for down payment and closing costs.

This documentation is required for all household members age 19 and over.  Applicants should also have a good credit record and stable earnings history.  LIHP will conduct a mortgage ability analysis to assess an applicant’s ability to obtain a mortgage and to sustain homeownership.  Factors to be considered in this analysis include income, employment, down payment, credit history and adherence to Program Guidelines.  All loans to finance the purchase of the home will be reviewed to ensure that they meet program guidelines.

 

Mortgage Restrictions

First mortgages must be with a recognized lending institution.  Non-occupying Co-Borrowers are not permitted.  The following types of mortgages are not permitted:

1.       Private mortgages;

2.       “No Doc” Loans, 100% financing, and 80/20 loans;

3.       203K loans; and

4.       Adjustable rate or interest only loans.


Affordability

Affordability of the unit will vary depending on income, sales price, insurance requirements, interest rates, property taxes, and buyer down payment. To purchase the home, applicants must have:

·           Sufficient income to pay the monthly mortgage payment, including property taxes, common charges, and insurance premiums. Applicants must also have sufficient funds for a down payment and closing costs estimated at 5-10% of the sales price; and

·            The ratio of total monthly housing cost (i.e. mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance premiums plus other debt (e.g. credit cards, car payments, school loans, etc.) to monthly household income may not exceed 45%.

 

Credit History Standards

The following credit history standards will be analyzed in conjunction with income limits to determine program eligibility:

·         Applicants must have an overall good pattern of credit behavior including a history of timely payments for rent, automobile and installment loans, credit cards and revolving loans as described below.  If a good payment pattern has been maintained, isolated cases of slow/late payments may not disqualify an applicant for program eligibility.

-        Applicant must not have been late on rental payments in the last 12 months.

-        Payments on automobiles and installment loans should reflect no late payments in recent 24 months.

-        Payments on revolving loans or credit cards should not have any late payments in recent 24 months.

·         Applicants must have a satisfactory income, credit and employment history.

·         At a minimum, a bankruptcy must have been discharged at least three years from date of application and credit re-established.

·         At a minimum, a foreclosure sale or a transfer of title in a deed in lieu of foreclosure must be at least three to five years old from date of application.

·         No outstanding collection accounts or judgments.

·         As part of the credit history and mortgage ability review, LIHP will utilize the middle credit score of all borrowers from three national credit repositories. At a minimum this credit score must be at least 580.  (Higher credit scores may be required by lenders).

·         The credit standards listed above are to determine program eligibility and do not represent a mortgage approval. The applicant is responsible for securing a mortgage approval through a responsible lending institution.


Citizenship

Each applicant must be either a U.S. Citizen or a Qualified Alien, as defined at 8 USC 1641. 


THE LOTTERY/WAITLIST PROCESS

 

All applicants will be randomly ranked and considered for the Program through the use of an electronic random number generator lottery and not on a first-come, first-served basis unless the number of applications received during the initial Lottery application period is less than the total number of units available.

 

As soon as possible following the close of the application period, LIHP will conduct the electronic lottery.    Names will be randomly ranked and placed on a Waitlist in ranked order (the “Ranked Waitlist”) from the electronic lottery.  Applicants will be reviewed for eligibility in the order in which they are randomly ranked from the electronic Lottery.

 

LIHP will notify each applicant, by email of their ranking from the Lottery.  Applicants will be notified, by email of the date, time, location, and manner when the rankings from the lottery will be announced.  Applicants are advised that their names will be publicly announced at the Lottery.

 

If units are still available after exhausting the list of applicants from the lottery, additional eligible applicants will be offered units pursuant to Village requirements. Once all affordable units are sold, no waitlist will be maintained.


LOTTERY APPLICATION SUBMISSION


Lottery Applications are available through LIHP’s website at www.lihp.org/developments.html (click on tab for The Gables at Westhampton). Lottery Applications must be completed and submitted online at www.lihp.org/developments.html (click on tab for The Gables at Westhampton).


Lottery Applications must be received by 5:00 pm on JUNE 2, 2025.

                                                               

Only one Lottery Application is allowed per household.

 

SUBMISSION OF REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION OR DETERMINATION OF INCOME ELIGIBILITY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ELIGIBILITY FOR A UNIT.

 

LOTTERY APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS

As an applicant’s name is reached on the Ranked Waitlist, LIHP will send notice to the applicant, by email, to submit ALL required documentation.  The notice will contain a link to submit documentation. LIHP will provide the applicant with a Checklist of required documentation.  ALL required documentation must be completed and received by LIHP within ten (10) calendar days of the notice date.   If required documentation is missing, LIHP will provide applicant notice, by email, of what is missing and applicant will be required to submit such documentation within ten (10) calendar days of the notice date.  If all the documentation is not received within such 10-day period, the applicant will be deemed ineligible, with a right of appeal.

 

If all documentation is received as required, LIHP will then conduct an income and eligibility review to determine if the applicant meets all Program Guidelines.  If an applicant meets the eligibility requirements, LIHP will provide notice, by email, to the applicant and the Owner advising them of the applicant’s eligibility, subject to completion of Mortgage Counseling. Applicants should not make an appointment for Mortgage Counseling until the applicant has received a formal letter from LIHP stating that the applicant is eligible for the Program.

 

If all requirements are met, and the applicant is fully eligible, the applicant will then work directly with the Sponsor to select a unit and execute a Contract of Sale.   If the applicant does not comply with the Owner requirements for execution of a Contract of Sale, the Sponsor will advise LIHP that the applicant is no longer eligible for the Program.  Should the applicant be deemed ineligible, LIHP will move on to the next name on the Waitlist, with no right of appeal.  Requirements regarding the Contract of Sale are solely those of the Sponsor and LIHP has no role or obligation in connection therewith.

 

APPEALS

Under some circumstances as provided herein, applicants who are deemed ineligible may appeal the determination by submitting a request to LIHP. The appeal request must be in writing and must be received (together will all documentation) by LIHP within three (3) calendar days of the date of LIHP’s notice to applicant of the determination of ineligibility. The appeal must state the basis of the appeal and contain documentation to support the appeal. Please note that, if the applicant was deemed ineligible due to failure to submit required documentation within the required time frame, then, no appeal will be granted unless the applicant submits the remaining required documentation with the appeal request within the timeframe required. The appeal will be promptly reviewed and the applicant advised of the final determination by email. Notice to LIHP of an appeal request can ONLY be submitted via a file-specific link that will be provided by LIHP.

PROCEDURE TO PROMOTE FAIR AND EQUITABLE LOTTERY PROCESS

Prior to Lottery:

Applicants will only be permitted to submit one application or intake form, as applicable.  To this end, LIHP will endeavor, but is not required to, review all submissions prior to the lottery. If it appears that an applicant has submitted more than one application or intake form, then LIHP may reject the additional submission(s).  Items to be reviewed include, but are not limited to, (1) submissions from the same address; (2) submissions that list the same household members; (3) submissions that list the same names but with different addresses; (4) submissions that  utilize the same email address; (5) submissions that utilize the same phone numbers (home and cell); and (6) such other items as may be determined in LIHP’s sole discretion.  


Following a Lottery:

Applicants will only be assigned one ranking number from the lottery.  Therefore, if, for whatever reason whatsoever, LIHP becomes aware that more than one submission by an applicant has been entered into the lottery and been assigned a ranking number, then the applicant’s ranking will automatically default to the highest ranked number and the applicant will lose the lower ranked position. For example, if an applicant’s ranking is #10 and #100 from the lottery, the applicant’s position at #10 will be rejected and the applicant will remain ranked as #100. 


General Provisions:

LIHP may contact the applicant regarding any uncertainty as to whether more than one application or intake form has been submitted.  LIHP may rely upon such certifications, documentation or other information as it deems reasonable, in its sole discretion, in assessing whether more than one submission has been made. If LIHP, in its sole discretion, determines that a submission or ranked position is to be rejected, LIHP may, but is not required to, notify the applicant of same.  Nothing herein shall preclude more than one application from the same address provided the applicants will not be part of the same household for purposes of the program applied for.  LIHP makes no guarantee that each duplicate will have been identified and removed from the program.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: 

 

I/We understand that the Long Island Housing Partnership, Inc. (LIHP) is relying on this information to prove my/our household’s eligibility for housing assisted under the program.  I/We certify that all information and answers to the questions are true and complete to the best of my/our knowledge.  If any of the information provided in this application changes prior to closing, it is my/our responsibility to notify the LIHP in writing so that an updated determination can be made regarding my eligibility status.  If I/we have not closed on a house within six (6) months of the date qualified, I/we understand that I/we may be required to resubmit current financial information and documentation to determine that I/we still meet the eligibility requirements of the program.  Program eligibility must be maintained from the point of application to the awarding of all grant assistance at the closing. I/We understand that we may be required to submit updated, additional and/or clarifying documentation to determine eligibility and that the information provided may be verified.

 

I/We understand that in compliance with the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT the processing of this application includes but is not limited to making any inquiries deemed necessary to verify the accuracy of the information I/we provided, including procuring consumer reports from consumer credit reporting agencies and obtaining credit information from other credit institutions.  I/We understand that after review of my/our financial status, LIHP may determine that I/we do not qualify based on my/our ability to qualify for and/or carry the mortgage required.

1)         I/WE CERTIFY THAT I/WE HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESALE AND PURCHASE PRICE RESTRICTIONS. SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE ELIGIBILITY AND ELIGIBILITY IS SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH ALL PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND THE OFFERING PLAN (IF APPLICABLE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT).

 

2)         I/WE CERTIFY THAT I/WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A CHECKLIST OF DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM.  I/WE UNDERSTAND THAT FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION WILL MAKE ME/US INELIGIBLE FOR SUCH PROGRAM.

 

3)         I/WE CERTIFY, UNDER THE PENALTIES AND PROVISIONS OF U.S.C. TITLE 18 SECTION 1001, AND OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, THAT THE INFORMATION SUBMITTED HAS BEEN EXAMINED BY US AND APPROVED AND IS TRUE, CORRECT, AND

COMPLETE.  I/WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT APART FROM THE PENALTIES AND PROVISIONS OF U.S.C. TITLE 18, SECTION 1001, AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS, FALSIFICATION OF ANY ITEM IN THIS APPLICATION MAY BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.


DISCLAIMER: It is understood that this is not an offer and that LIHP, the Sponsor and/or the municipality may change the terms and conditions at any time.  It is further understood that notices may be made in such manner as LIHP may determine, including solely by advertisement or email.  LIHP is not responsible to any party for any damage(s) caused or which may be caused as a result of the information collected for this application.  LIHP reserves the right to reject any application for any non-discriminatory reason.  Decisions by LIHP are final.
