Zurich Citizens News, 1976-11-03, Page 17Citizens News, November 3, 1976 -Page 17 Modifications to Home Renewal program Housing Minister John Rhodes announced modi- fications to the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) that extend homeowner eligibility, provide for deferment of re- payment in cases of undue hardship, and eliminate the "piggy -back" or integration provision of OHRP with the federal Residential Rehabilita- tion Assistance Program (RRAP). The modifications also enable the survivor of a deceased owner who has participated in the program to continue repay- ment of the loan instead of requiring immediate payment in full. According to Rhodes, the most important change is the extension of homeowner eligi- bility which enables municipal- ities to provide loans to home- owners who have purchased dwellings under the Veteran's Land Act. The changes also mean that those who have purchased a house on leased land can particular impact in northern particular impact in norther Ontario where many homeown- ers lease crown land on a long- term ongterm basis. Eligibility is also extended to include those individuals who have been willed a "life estate" in a home. Under the revised regula- tions, the Housing Minister is empowered to defer or forgive all, or part of any OHRP loan provided it can be demonstrated that continued repayment con- stitutes undue hardship to an owner. In addition, the revised regulations give a municipality the option of taking a promis- sory note for any loan in lieu of a lien •against the property. The same provision applies to the minister and is applicable in the unorganized regions of Ontario where the province administers the program direct- ly. The elimination of the "Pig- gy -back" or integration pro- vision with RRAP results from the federal decision to increase the maximum loans and forgive- able portions of its program. Previously, OHRP loans were not to exceed $7,500 less any federal funding. Now that the federal loan maximum has been raised from $5,000 to $10,000, the need for this type of inte- gration has been eliminated. Nevertheless, OHRP will con- tinue to provide loans at inter- est rates that are geared to family income and range from no interest for adjusted family incomes of $3,000 and less to a maximum of eight per cent for incomes of $8,001 to the OHRP ceiling of $12,500. Under OHRP, the province provides loans on a per capita basis directly to municipalities that administer the program. Loans are made available to homeowner/occupants with an adjusted family income of $12,500 or less to upgrade their dwellings to acceptable munici- EMMANUEL UNITED CHURCH, Zurich was the setting for the Oc- tober 23, 1976 wedding of RubyElizabeth Beierling and Robert John Sebben.
