Homestead Corporation is a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) dedicated to providing access to decent, reasonably priced housing for residents of the Champaign-Urbana area with inadequate resources. Families that have incomes at or below 80% of the median family income, adjusted for family size, for the Champaign-Urbana area, who are first-time home buyers, and who can qualify for a mortgage loan through a local lending institution, may participate in Homestead's program. For more information on the Homestead Corporation, please see their web site or call (217) 328-9373. Urban League's Lease Purchase Program is designed to assist residents who need to repair their credit or save for a down payment to purchase a home. The Urban League of Champaign County will purchase the home and lease to a resident for a period of two to three years, and subsequently the home can be purchased from the Urban League of Champaign County. Additional grant money may be available. To learn more about the Lease Purchase Program, contact Jean Algee at (217)363-3333 ext 22 or via email at jalgee@urbanleague.net. Continuing the momentum from Fairview House No. 1, for 2007, e-co lab is again working with the City of Urbana to build another super energy-efficient house in Urbana for a qualifying first-time homebuyer. To be located at 1007 W. Fairview Ave (next door to Fairview House No. 1), this home will be a four bedroom, two bath, 1450 square foot home and like the Smith House and first Fairview House, it has been designed and will be constructed to Passive House standards (reducing energy use by a Factor of 10). The $120,000 sales price of the house (well under market value) will be made possible through $25,000 grant donation of the lot from the City of Urbana as well as through donations from individuals and local businesses. If you are a first time-homebuyer thinking of buying this house, keep in mind that the $120,000 sales price could be reduced even further (up to $11,000) through the PAID program (217-721-7243) and other down payment initiatives.
