(c) If the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the original
assisted home buyer, or of the original rehabilitation assisted owner-occupier,
for the duration of the period of recapture, then, recapture provisions must be
invoked to ensure recouping of Trust Funds assistance funds. The Recipient
may invoke any of several recapture options, but the following is required as
a minimum:
• Trust Funds assistance to be recaptured may be reduced on a pro rata
basis comparing the years (rounded down to the nearest whole year):
✓ the original assisted home buyer has owned and occupied the
housing unit;
or
✓ the years since the original rehabilitation assisted owner-
occupier was assisted;
measured against the required recapture period.
• To illustrate application of this formula, if the original assisted home
buyer has owned the housing unit for four years as against a 10-year
period of recapture associated with a $15,000 Trust Funds assistance
amount, the calculation of the pro rata required recapture is:
✓ 4/10 x $15,000 = $6,000 reduction. $15,000
total Trust Funds assistance minus $6,000 pro
rata reduction = $9,000 to be recaptured.
(d) Recapture restrictions may terminate upon the occurrence of any of
foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure. Recapture restrictions shall be
revived according to their original terms if, during the original recapture period,
the owner of record before the termination event, or any newly formed entity
Page 8 of 10
that includes the former owner or those with whom the former has or had
family or business ties, obtains an ownership interest in the housing unit.
(e) The Recipient must ensure, through appropriate lien instruments which are
properly recorded at the time of assistance, that resale restrictions are
imposed on the property to ensure recapture of Trust Funds assistance funds.
(f) If requested by the Department, documentation must be provided to the
Department showing execution of appropriate loan and security interest
documents (e.g., promissory note and recapture restrictions in a mortgage)
between the Recipient and the persons assisted through the Project.
PART IV: SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AND ASSURANCES.
The Recipient agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of the Revised Statutes of
Nebraska as they are in effect at the time of execution of the contract, and as such
statutes may be amended, from time to time, subsequent to execution of the contract.

TOTAL $676,762 $9,310,238 $9,987,000
§3.02 Project Description.
The Project consists of assisting in homeownership by providing down payment
assistance to home buyers and assisting with rehabilitation of owner-occupied
properties and assisting with a program of purchase, rehabilitation, and then resale of
existing homes; for Eligible Beneficiaries in the city of Omaha, Nebraska, impacting 143
Eligible Beneficiaries with no more than 80% of the area median income per the most
recent HUD income limits.
§3.03 Special Conditions.
The Project must be completed in conformance with all provisions of the Rules and of the
Guidelines, including, but not limited to, the following matters (underlined terms being
defined in the Rules or the Guidelines):
(a) The Project must involve Eligible Housing and the housing units must be
Affordable and must be purchased by or owner-occupied by Eligible
Beneficiaries.
Page 7 of 10
(b) Project assistance funds must be subject to recapture for a minimum period.
The table below reflects the required appropriate periods of recapture:
Activity parameters: Minimum period of recapture in years:
Trust Funds invested per unit:
Under$15,000 5
$15,000 to $40,000 10
Over$40,000 15
NEW CONSTRUCTION or acquisition of
newly constructed housing 20
(c) If the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the original
assisted home buyer, or of the original rehabilitation assisted owner-occupier,
for the duration of the period of recapture, then, recapture provisions must be
invoked to ensure recouping of Trust Funds assistance funds. The Recipient
may invoke any of several recapture options, but the following is required as
a minimum:
• Trust Funds assistance to be recaptured may be reduced on a pro rata
basis comparing the years (rounded down to the nearest whole year):
✓ the original assisted home buyer has owned and occupied the
housing unit;
or
✓ the years since the original rehabilitation assisted owner-
occupier was assisted;
measured against the required recapture period.
• To illustrate application of this formula, if the original assisted home
buyer has owned the housing unit for four years as against a 10-year
period of recapture associated with a $15,000 Trust Funds assistance
amount, the calculation of the pro rata required recapture is:
✓ 4/10 x $15,000 = $6,000 reduction. $15,000
total Trust Funds assistance minus $6,000 pro
rata reduction = $9,000 to be recaptured.
(d) Recapture restrictions may terminate upon the occurrence of any of
foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure. Recapture restrictions shall be
revived according to their original terms if, during the original recapture period,
the owner of record before the termination event, or any newly formed entity
Page 8 of 10
a
that includes the former owner or those with whom the former has or had
family or business ties, obtains an ownership interest in the housing unit.
(e) The Recipient must ensure, through appropriate lien instruments which are
properly recorded at the time of assistance, that resale restrictions are
imposed on the property to ensure recapture of Trust Funds assistance funds.
(f) If requested by the Department, documentation must be provided to the
Department showing execution of appropriate loan and security interest
documents (e.g., promissory note and recapture restrictions in a mortgage)
between the Recipient and the persons assisted through the Project.
