FISCAL IMPACT None. All costs are covered by fees charged to participants. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS Federal law authorizes the provision of mortgage assistance to income eligible first time homebuyers through the issuance of a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC). The first time homebuyer who receives the MCC qualifies for a federal tax credit. The net result to the homebuyer is to lower the interest of their mortgage. The homebuyer uses the MCC with conventional market rate mortgages. The County has issued nearly 2,000 MCCs.

Source: Jim Kennedy 335-1255 prig: Community Development ATTESTED - _� cc: County Administrator PHIL BATCHELOR, CL RK OF County Counsel THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS County Counsel AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Auditor-Controller via Community Development Dept. Anderson & Associates Blt` DEPUTY When federal tax law was amended to create the MCC program, it did not permit the transfer of the MCC from the original loan to a new loan accomplished by a refinancing. Recent federal tax law changes allow, with local review and approval, MCCs to be transferred to a refinanced loan. With the recent run-down of mortgage rates, the County has received numerous requests for MCC reissuance in conjunction with refinanced mortgages'. The position in the Community Development Department that has administered the MCC program is currently vacant. It is expected that this function will be undertaken by new entry level staff that will not be available until mid-summer. This staff person will need to be trained in this function. Anderson & Associates administers first time homebuyer programs for four East Bay communities. Retaining them at this time is recommended in order to permit the MCC holders to take advantage of current low interest rates. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................... . ...... ......... ._....._.. ..._........ ..........__._...._.._..........__........._..._. ...._...... ........_ .......... ..._..... .........
