| HomeWorks Homeownership Program |
| Under this program, small, vacant City-owned buildings are completely rehabilitated by experienced builders to create one-
to four- family homes for sale to individual homebuyers at market prices. There are no income limits for the buyers (in a
majority of the homes), nor are there any income or price limits for any rental apartments.

| Homeowner Mortgage Servicing Request |
| If you are a homeowner who purchased a home through an HPD program, you may have received a subsidy at the time of purchase.
This subsidy is in the form of a note(s) and a mortgage. The mortgage is a lien on your property. If you are selling, refinancing,
or transferring ownership of your home or wish to pay off your outstanding subsidy balance, you require mortgage servicing.
