odays lending market for affordable homeownership is a

good news, bad news story: The good news is that

because of the ongoing housing slump real estate prices are

among the most competitive in recent memory with interest

rates still hovering at historical lows. However, the bad news

is that delinquencies and foreclosures have forced banks to

tighten lending standards, particularly credit scores. The

need for higher scores is now being felt throughout the citys

low- and moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods being

served by Acorn, NHS, and the New York Mortgage

Coalition (NYMC).

At NYMC our primary focus is to expand homeownership

opportunities for first-time LMI buyers through pre-purchasecounseling, prequalification, and mortgage placement. With stricter lending guidelines, our counselors now

report that clients with scores in the mid-600s, sufficient for approval as recently as 6 to 12 months ago, are

often denied financing, with the exception of FHA and SONYMA.

Though a variety of factors such as employment, cash reserves, and debt-to-income ratio are involved in the

underwriting decision, it is the credit score that makes the borrowers all-important first impression on the

lender and it is the credit score that remains a key driver in determining both mortgage-readiness and the

interest rate that is ultimately charged.

For the housing counselors working out of NYMCs eight community groups, improving credit scores is an

ongoing challenge. Our clients have homeownership dreams but often have little or no savings and creditscores below 600. On average 2 out of 3 clients are 6 months or more from being mortgage-ready, which in

todays lending environment typically translates as follows:

A minimum 680 score

At least 11% of purchase price saved towards down payment (5%) and closing costs (6%)

At least 2 months cash reserves for PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance)

Home Buyer Education Certificate

With the down payment and closing cost subsidies

offered by many entities including NYCs HPD,

SONYMA, First Home Club, and the various banks,

there are exceptions to these requirements, e.g. the

11% savings.

Unlike relatively fixed issues such as employment and

income level, a borrowers credit score can improve,

often within days and sometimes instantaneously, with

a few targeted changes. To help increase our pipeline

of mortgage-ready borrowers and to better triage the

flow of new clients, NYMC will soon pilot-test a

program designed to optimize credit scores by

providing our counselors the specific short term

action steps for a borrower to maximize his or herscore.

Legitimate score increases of 1 to 100+ points are

possible through changes in four key areas: A)

Paying down debt, e.g. installment or revolving debt;

B) Transferring balances, e.g. from one credit card to

another; C) Opening new accounts to increase the

number of credit lines; and D) Eliminating

inaccuracies, e.g. ensuring that no suits, liens, or late

payments are falsely attributed to the borrower.

But even the most experienced housing counselor can

only guess the scoring impact of paying down a

balance or opening a new account. There is now a

credit simulation program that eliminates the

guesswork, offering counselors the ability to advise

borrowers on the score impact from a specific action

with greater than 90% predictability. The program,

developed by a Maryland-based software company

CreditXpert (www.creditxpert.com), is available

through credit reporting agencies such as First

American Credco.

In our pilot program the credit simulation model will

automatically pop up when the standard three-bureau

credit report is pulled, allowing clients to explore

increasing scores in a number of ways, for example:

If a borrower has a score of 650 what stepsmust she take to reach 680?

If a borrower at 620 has an extra $175 cash -

how could he spend this to achieve maximum

score gain?

How will a score change if the borrower pays

off a collection AND opens a new credit card

account?

In each case the program will outline the most

efficient, least expensive action steps to achieve thegreatest increase. In todays lending environment a

score improvement of even one point, e.g. 679 to

680, can move an applicant up one score band which

could mean the difference between refusal and

approval, or between a rate of 6.50% and 5.75%,

representing over $100/month savings on a $250,000

mortgage.

This represents important savings for first-time

homebuyers, which will go a long way to ensuring the

dream of homeownership will be both achieved andsustained over the long term.

Important note: The optimization process described is

NOT credit repair which relies on concealing or

falsely disputing past spending behavior to improve

scores. Credit optimization is a legitimate means to

improve scores by focusing on positive future action

while eliminating current inaccuracies.

STAIR PROMPTS AVAILABLE - PLACE YOUR ORDER!

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene(DOHMH) is working to promote stair use in buildings (seehttp://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2008/pr033-08.shtml).

It has been estimated that two minutes of additional stairclimbing per day would burn an extra 5800 calories or 1.6pounds per year, which is enough to level off the averageweight gain of 1 pound per year in U.S. adults.

Using the stairs instead of the elevator is also a great wayto go green as you are using your own power rather thanelectricity!

DOHMH would like to provide owners and managers ofaffordable housing with stair prompts (signs) you can postby elevators, escalators, and stairs to tell people about thehealth benefits of stair use and to encourage regular stairuse. Placement of signs at the point of decision has beenshown in studies to increase stair use by 50% (seehttp://www.thecommunityguide.org/pa/environmental-policy/podp.html). DOHMH encourages you to orderplastic stair prompts (8 x 11), available in English andSpanish to post near your elevators, escalators and stairs.DOHMH also has a laminated poster in two sizes (11 x17 or 8 x 11) that you can use to reinforce themessage elsewhere. Please call 311 to request free stairprompts for your building, and help prevent weight gain inthose who visit, work, or live in your building!

Among the New York City tenants living in supportivehousing are 4,007 individuals with HIV/AIDS who arestably housed through HASA supportive housing program,Branca told the City Councils General Welfare Committeeat a May 26th budget hearing. The Mayors proposed cuts,she explained, will risk the health and housing stability ofthousands of New Yorkers dealing with the devastatingeffects of living with HIV/AIDS.

The Network estimates that the $1.876 million fundingreduction would result in an estimated 32% cut in on-sitecase management, reducing the number of case managersworking with these tenants from 198 to 135. If these cutsremain, each case manger would be responsible forassisting 30 of the most challenging tenants served insupportive housing, a50% increase comparedto the current 20:1caseload ratio, saidBranca.

The proposed cuts are

premised on anassumption that theCitys own casemanagers at HASAoffices make the on-sitesupportive housing casemanagers at leastpartially redundant.

HASA case workersplay an importantfunction, includingcoordinating benefits for

their clients, but it is theon-site case managersthat maintain the healthand stability of thisvulnerable population,said Branca. Forpeople living withHIV/AIDS, health crisesdo not only occur duringoffice hours. Supportivehousing case managerswork in the residencesand are available whentenants needassistance. Preliminaryresearch by the NYCDepartment of Healthand Mental Hygiene(DOHMH) shows that93% of supportivehousing programsprovide 24-hour accessto staff. Conversely, HASA case managers are onlyavailable across the city, usually by appointment only, andonly during office hours.

WHEDCO WINS NATIONAL

GREEN HOUSING AWARD

The Womens Housing and Economic Development Corporation

(WHEDCo) has received the 15th Annual Charles L. Edson Tax CreditExcellence Award in Green Housing at a national awards ceremony on

Capitol Hill.

The award recognizes WHEDCos new Intervale Green, the largest

affordable multi-family ENERGY STAR certified building in the

country.

WHEDCo is honored to receive this important recognition of

excellence from the affordable housing community, said Nancy

Biberman, WHEDCo founder and president. We are proud that

Intervale Green has emerged as a replicable model of green affordable

housing that incorporates the highest aesthetic and design standards."

When the opportunity arose to nominate one of our projects for this

prestigious award, I confess that WHEDCos Intervale Green was at

the top of the list of candidates, said Marc Jahr, President of HDC.

We at HDC are very proud of our partnership with WHEDCo and

honored to bring this award home.

Intervale Green was built on an abandoned lot in the South Bronx.

Today, the complex brings over 1/2 an acre of vegetation to the

community, including three green roofs for vegetable and flowering

gardens. Offering 128 family apartments for low-income and formerly

homeless families, the complex was built with environmentally

friendly, healthy materials and boasts energy-efficient appliances to

help keep utility bills low for the new residents. Green technologythroughout the building will help improve the environment and help

keep money in the hands of the residents. Residents already struggling

to make ends meet are expected to save 30% on utility bills.
