Terms and conditions of Grant funding will be clearly defined in the Restrictive Covenant and Grant Agreement issued by FHFC, and will be recorded in the public records of the county in which the newly constructed development is located. In the event of a violation of any of the terms and conditions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant and Grant Agreement, or the awarded Grant Funds be used for any purpose other than those stated in the Request For Application submitted by the Applicant, or if funds awarded or disbursed to Grantee were based upon fraud or misrepresentation committed by the Grantee during the Compliance Period, Grant Funds may be revoked. It should be noted that a portion of the Total Grant Awarded ($18,000), may be used for predevelopment costs such as underwriting fees, plan and costs analysis, accessibility review, etc. In the event that the predevelopment costs are not fully expended at the completion of construction, the Applicant may be reimbursed up to the total amount remaining of these costs. Applicant Equity: In order to balance the sources and uses of funds, First Housing estimates that APPBC must contribute $1,343,873 to partially offset the construction costs of the Development. Funds required to complete construction of the Development over and above Grant funds, will be provided by APPBC as cash deposited at initial closing. Cash deposited will be in an amount less those expenses already paid by APPBC, and will be verified by First Housing. It should be noted that First Housing has included a 5% hard cost contingency and a 5% soft cost contingency to the budget. In the event that the total hard cost and soft cost contingencies are not fully expended at the completion of construction, the Applicant may be reimbursed up to the total amount remaining of these contingencies. In no event shall the total reimbursement of the contingencies and the predevelopment costs exceed the developer equity required in order for the Applicant to maintain the Qualifying Financing Assistance Preference obtained during the application process. For the Development, the Applicant must provide Developer Equity in the minimum amount of $58,800.

  • How the Pandemic Has Put Flexibility Front and Center in Home Design
    Real Estate How the pandemic has put flexibility front and center in home design By Michele Lerner September 17, 2020 Six months ago the coronavirus pandemic turned the entire nation into homebodies. Now architects, builders and interior designers are addressing the pain points that emerged when our homes became our offices, schools and entertainment venues. It’s a little too soon for completely new model homes to be built that take the new normal into account. Still, incremental changes in floor plans and interior design have been made that point the way to the future. “While there are definitely some design changes we’re making, we also want to be careful of an overreaction to the current situation and design things that don’t make sense 18 months from now,” says Bill Ramsey, a principal with KTGY Architecture and Planning in Denver. “For example, home schooling is a big issue right now, but we don’t see that as a long- term need so we’re not designing homes with a school room as part of the floor plan,” he adds. “Instead, we’re focused on flexibility so that there is a place to do virtual school in the short term that can work for some other need in the future.” Dining room conversion Just as we’ve learned to pivot and adjust to a new way of living, so have our homes. Now architects are taking into account the way people are using their homes to make new designs more relevant. “Flexibility is key,” says Bob Zuber, an architect and partner with Morgante Wilson Architects in Chicago.

  • Various Home Styles and Types
    VARIOUS HOME STYLES AND TYPES Real estate in the Prince George’s and Charles County areas of Maryland is very diverse. The homes differ by style and type, single family detached or attached garaged townhomes. The exterior styles can be either - Colonial, Split Level, Split Foyer, Rambler/Rancher, Cape Cod, Victorian, and Contemporary. Some examples are below examples below. SPLIT FOYER The Split Foyer home has been popular for cost effective construction for about 25 years. The average Split Foyer will have 3 bedrooms and 1 to 2 full baths, living room, dining room and kitchen on the main level and finished or unfinished lower level. These homes are generally built on a slab and not below ground. SPLIT LEVEL The Split Level home can be three or four levels with three levels showing above ground. Main level will be the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Upper level will be 3-4 bedrooms and 1- 2 baths. The lower level will have a family room and laundry. There may be a fourth level, but in Waldorf, many homes are built without basements. RAMBLER The Rambler or Rancher is a true one level home although there may be a basement. The Rambler/Rancher will usually have living room, dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and 1-2 baths on one level. The home may or may not have a basement. COLONIAL Colonials have become the most popular in the past fifteen years as families grow. Families with more than 2 younger aged children like the upstairs bedroom configuration, with all bedrooms on one level.
