APPRAISAL GAP PROGRAM
The Gap Program was designed to provide funding to eligible nonprofit entities to help cover the difference or gap between the costs to build new construction or substantially rehabilitate homes and the appraised value of the home.
The program will pay up to $20,000 per property when the appraised value is less than the sales price/cost of construction.
NEW START
The New Start Loan Program is designed to promote the
construction of new homes for low and very low income
Tennesseans.
The Program will be delivered through non-profit organizations
with established programs for the construction of single family
housing for low and very low income households.
The New Start Program Partner is responsible for selecting the
homebuyer, determining the borrower’s eligibility based on New
Start Program guidelines, constructing the home, providing
homebuyer education, and originating the New Start Loan.
