LIHP - Patchogue - Cooper Beech Village - Application going on now

Some people are looking for houseing assitance, LIHP are taking applications for 40 brand new homes.

There is a lengty application along with 100 fee to process.

The homes are brand new (i think they just broke ground last week) and are 2 bedroom stand alone homes with 1.5 bth. There are 20 ava for 160k and 20 at 240k. You pay down payment of 5000 and closing cost.....and the most imporant part, you have to win the lotto.
These homes are vauled at 330k

Last time we applied for something, there were 2000 approved applications for 30 homes in Melville about 2 years ago. We just sat, prayed and hoped our name would be called. it wasnt called and we were sad for a bit...any who...enough about me...

the major requirement is your income.
to qualify for 160k home,

household size gross fam income
1- 50,950
2- 58,250
3- 62,500
4- 72,800


for the 240k home
household size gross fam income
1- 74,450
2- 87,350
3- 98,300
4- 109,200


There are other sipulations but this is the major one...Some others include 1st time homeowner (no new property last 3 years), no foreclosures, bankruptcy, timeshares, must have SSN...etc...

Here is another kicker...if you live or work in the Town of Patchogue, your chances of winning the lotto (if passed appilcation process) is greatly improved as 20 of the 40 homes go to people already living/working in that village

Applications must be in by july 30
To get an application, i guess call LIHP

I will try to scan and put online if i can...

Good luck! We never qualify, we make just a hair to much...we ended up just buying a cheaper house in Medford (low taxes) and struggle to pay our mortgageChat Icon

Tom,

Are you and Traci going for this?

You would be so much closer to Phil and I.

That would be awesome!

Thanks for posting this. I'll be passing it along to some of my fellow teachers.

It's crazy because teaching salaries are much higher here than in many parts of the country but not high enough that they can afford to buy even a small place to live. Moving to another state would mean a drastic cut in pay and then they still can't afford to live despite the lower housing cost. We had two teachers leave the profession this year due to this reasonChat Icon

I just called and got an application. This would be perfect for my parents who want to come back to LI and be with us. I don't know if they would make the income requirement though.

When I was reading on the website it said that you can become apart of the mailing list and when new projects come up then they will automatically send you an application. Also if you click on developments it also had a list of other developments

We are well over income guidelines and feel like we will never afford anything. Who comes up with the affordable housing guidelines??Chat Icon

Regarding the income requirements...is it based on your 2005 tax return or do they look at your current 2006 earnings ? I think we would be right on the edge for 2006 but would definitely qualify if they looked at 2005 income. Thanks

yeah, its very hard, thus a good reason why we moved into a co-op cause housing a joke on long island

the annual income is a precentage of the medium price for the town
