HOMEBUYER WRITTEN AGREEMENT
NOTICE TO HOMEBUYER: This AGREEMENT contains a number of requirements you must
fulfill in exchange for the federal assistance you are receiving through the Laney Walker/Bethlehem
Revitalization Project Subsidy Program (LWBR Subsidy Program). Be sure to read each paragraph
carefully and ask questions regarding any sections you do not fully understand. This AGREEMENT
will be enforced by a forgivable loan and mortgage as set forth below. You should be sure that you
thoroughly understand these documents before you sign them.
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this __ day of ____________, 2021 by and between
HOMEBUYER hereinafter referred to as “BORROWER,” and AUGUSTA HOUSING &
COMMUNITY DEVLOPMENT (HCD) having its principal office at 510 Fenwick Street,
Augusta, Georgia 30901, hereinafter referred to as “LENDER.”
WHEREAS, on ___________________, the Lender agreed to provide to the Borrower
financial assistance to be used in pursuit of the purchase of certain real property hereafter described;
Map Parcel #059-4-219-00-0 identified as 406 McQueen Court.
WHEREAS, a percentage of said financial assistance was provided in the form of a
Forgivable Loan, hereinafter referred to as a “LOAN,” with said Loan being in the amount of Twenty-
Five Thousand dollars and 00/100 ($25,000.00), subject to the condition that the Borrower executes
this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Forgiveness Loan is funded by the Augusta Housing and Community
Development Subsidy Program via the Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project (hereafter
“LWBR Program”), and restrictions apply to the Borrower when participating in the City of Augusta’s
Forgiveness Loan Program.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the said Loan and in accordance with the provisions
of State of Georgia Statues, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lender to adhere to the following LWBR
Program Restrictions imposed on them for the assistance provided:
HOMEBUYER – FAITH CLEMMONS
HOME Program – Homebuyer Written Agreement Page 2 of 5
Affordability Period
You must comply with the LWBR Program’s period of affordability. The period of affordability for
the home will be for the term of the loan (30 years), based on the amount of the direct subsidy to
the HOMEBUYER. During this 30-year period, the HOMEBUYER must maintain the home as
his/her principal place of residence at all times. During this time the recapture restriction is effective
and requires all LWBR funds that were provided for the purchase of the home to be repaid to the City,
including principal, interest, late fees, and other charges, if you do not occupy the property as your
principal residence or if you sell or transfer the property.
Appraised property value
The AWARDEE certifies that a certified property appraiser has appraised the property that is the
subject of this AGREEMENT at a value of $144,027.00.
.
Principal residence requirement
This agreement shall remain in force throughout the affordability period as long as the home remains
the principal residence of the HOMEBUYER. Should the HOMEBUYER not maintain the home as
his/her principal residence, or rent or sell the residence to another party, the HOMEBUYER will be in
breach of this agreement and will be required to repay any amount that has not yet been forgiven, as set
forth in Section 5 of the AGREEMENT, as of the day the home is no longer the principal place of
residence of the HOMEBUYER. If the home is sold to another party, the liability of the
HOMEBUYER will be limited to the amount of the net proceeds of the sale as set forth in Section 7
below.
________Buyer Initials
Recapture Agreement
This is a mechanism to recapture all or a portion of the direct LWBR subsidy if the LWBR recipient
decides to sell the house within the affordability period at whatever price the market will bear. The
recaptured funds will come from the net proceeds if available. Any such repayment as required shall
be made to the Lender no later than thirty (30) days following the action that require the repayment.
Obligation of Repayment
As security of Borrower’s obligation of repayment, and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Borrower grants, and the Lender shall and hereby does have, a lien on the real estate
hereinafter described in the full amount necessary to satisfy said repayment obligation and the cost,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, of collecting the same. The real estate subject to said lien is
legally described as:
HOMEBUYER – FAITH CLEMMONS
HOME Program – Homebuyer Written Agreement Page 3 of 5
ALL THAT LOT OR PARCEL OF LAND, situated, lying and being in the City of Augusta,
Richmond County, Georgia bounded north of Perry Avenue, south of Laney Walker Boulevard,
east of R.A. Dent, and west of James Brown Boulevard.
Promptly after the date of any sale, transfer or other conveyance of the above describe property, or in
the event of a sale by contract for deed, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of such sale; or if the
property shall cease to be the Borrower’s principal place of residency, the Borrower or his/her heirs,
executors, or representatives shall give the lender notice thereof.
In the event the Borrower or his/her heirs, executors, or representatives shall fail or refuse to make a
required payment within said limited period, the Lender may, with or without notice to the Borrower,
foreclose said lien in the same manner as an action of the foreclosure or mortgages upon said real
estate, as provided by State Statue.
Ownership of Property
You must hold fee simple title to the property purchased with LWBR funds for the duration of your
Forgiveness Loan.
Use of LWBR funds
The HOMEBUYER agrees that the LWBR assistance will be used to lower the cost of the home by
providing down payment assistance. This will reduce the sales price of the home to the
HOMEBUYER and reduce the total amount the HOMEBUYER will be required to borrow in order to
purchase the home.
________Buyer Initials
Insurance requirement
The HOMEBUYER must at all times during the duration of this AGREEMENT maintain a valid and
current insurance policy on the home for the current appraised or assessed value of the home. Failure
to maintain a valid and current insurance policy will be considered a breach of this AGREEMENT,
and the AWARDEE will have the right to foreclose on its mortgage lien if necessary, to protect the
LWBR Program investment.
Property standards
Pursuant to LWBR Program rules, the property that is the subject of this AGREEMENT must meet all
State and local housing quality standards and code requirements. If no such standards or codes apply,
the property must at a minimum meet the HUD Section 8 Housing Quality Standards/Uniform Physical
Condition Standards.

Property through a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of a Prior Security Deed shall receive title
to the Property free and clear from such restriction.

Department:HCD
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to approve the Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCDs) request to provide HOME funding to
assist one (1) low to moderate income homebuyer with gap
financing, down payment and closing cost to purchase a home
through the Homebuyer Subsidy Program. 1. 406 McQueen
Court, $25,000
Background:The Augusta, Georgia’s Homebuyer Subsidy Program is a loan
in the form of a second mortgage. This financial assistance is
combined with a primary loan (first mortgage loan) from a
participating lending institution and enables a qualified first-time
home buyer to become a homeowner. The buyer must be a first-
time home buyer and the home must become the buyer’s
primary residence. The program is funded by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered by
HCD. The program promotes neighborhood stability by
providing financing towards the purchase price and closing costs
for homes located within Augusta-Richmond County, in
conjunction with local Community Housing Development
Organizations (CHDOs) and Augusta, Georgia employees.
Analysis:Approval of this request will allow one (1) homeowner to obtain
safe and compliant living conditions.
Financial Impact:Augusta, Georgia receives funding from HUD annually.
Alternatives:Deny HCD’s request.
Recommendation:Approve Housing and Community Development Department’s
(HCDs) request to provide HOME funding to assist one (1) low
to moderate income homebuyer with gap financing, down
payment and closing cost to purchase a home through the
Homebuyer Subsidy Program for 406 McQueen Court.
