Resolution authorizing a request to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Special application center (SAC) to rescind the remaining ten Scattered Sites units from the approved Section 32 Homeownership Program
HACM received approval for 40 units to be sold under the Section 32 Homeownership Program. To date, 30 units have been sold to eligible first-time homebuyers. Because the program has been suspended indefinitely, the units need to be moved back into the general inventory section of the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC). The SAC has asked for a Board resolution to move the units and effectually close-out the current program. Any future proposed Section 32 sale to an occupying resident or to an eligible family would require the submission of a new application.
