2 reduced rate of interest provided that such institution
3 documents the use of deposited funds for community development
4 projects.
5     (b-5) The State Treasurer may, in his or her discretion,
6 accept a proposal from an eligible institution that provides
7 for a reduced rate of interest, provided that such institution

10     (b-10) The State Treasurer may, in his or her discretion,

24 on deposits of State moneys, (ii) existing home loans of
25 Illinois citizens who have failed to make payments on a home
26 loan as a result of a financial hardship due to circumstances

1 beyond the control of the borrower where there is a reasonable
2 prospect that the borrower will be able to resume full mortgage
3 payments, and (iii) loans in amounts that do not exceed the
4 amount of arrearage on a mortgage and that are extended to
5 enable a borrower to become current on his or her mortgage
6 obligation, and (iv) home loans that are made to refinance
7 loans that meet the definition of a "high risk home loan" or
8 that are expected to meet the definition of "high risk home
9 loan" during the term of the loan, as the term "high risk home
10 loan" is defined by the High Risk Home Loan Act.
11     The following factors shall be considered by the
12 participating financial institution to determine whether the
13 financial hardship is due to circumstances beyond the control
14 of the borrower: (i) loss, reduction, or delay in the receipt
15 of income because of the death or disability of a person who
16 contributed to the household income, (ii) expenses actually
17 incurred related to the uninsured damage or costly repairs to
18 the mortgaged premises affecting its habitability, (iii)
19 expenses related to the death or illness in the borrower's
20 household or of family members living outside the household
21 that reduce the amount of household income, (iv) loss of income
22 or a substantial increase in total housing expenses because of
23 divorce, abandonment, separation from a spouse, or failure to
24 support a spouse or child, (v) unemployment or underemployment,
25 (vi) loss, reduction, or delay in the receipt of federal,
26 State, or other government benefits, and (vii) participation by

 

 

09500SB1167sam001 - 4 - LRB095 10973 AJO 35522 a

1 the homeowner in a recognized labor action such as a strike. In
2 determining whether there is a reasonable prospect that the
3 borrower will be able to resume full mortgage payments, the
4 participating financial institution shall consider factors
5 including, but not necessarily limited to the following: (i) a
6 favorable work and credit history, (ii) the borrower's ability
7 to and history of paying the mortgage when employed, (iii) the
8 lack of an impediment or disability that prevents reemployment,
9 (iv) new education and training opportunities, (v) non-cash
10 benefits that may reduce household expenses, and (vi) other
11 debts.
12     For the purposes of this Section, "home loan" means a loan,
13 other than an open-end credit plan or a reverse mortgage
14 transaction, for which (i) the principal amount of the loan
15 does not exceed 50% of the conforming loan size limit for a
16 single-family dwelling as established from time to time by the
17 Federal National Mortgage Association, (ii) the borrower is a
18 natural person, (iii) the debt is incurred by the borrower
19 primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and (iv)
20 the loan is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real
21 estate upon which there is located or there is to be located a
22 structure designed principally for the occupancy of no more
23 than 4 families and that is or will be occupied by the borrower
24 as the borrower's principal dwelling.
25     (d) If there is an agreement between the State Treasurer
26 and an eligible institution that details the use of deposited

 

 

09500SB1167sam001 - 5 - LRB095 10973 AJO 35522 a

1 funds, the agreement may not require the gift of money, goods,
2 or services to a third party; this provision does not restrict
3 the eligible institution from contracting with third parties in
4 order to carry out the intent of the agreement or restrict the
5 State Treasurer from placing requirements upon third-party
6 contracts entered into by the eligible institution.
